• FormThe away side has been steady enough, but they do not look like a team with a big edge going into this one.
• FormRecent head-to-head games also give the home side some comfort, so they are not walking in with a bad matchup.
• InjuryBoth teams have injuries, and the home side seems to have more names on that list, which takes away some of their advantage.
• FormThis is not the kind of game that screams easy home win, because the draw and away side still have a real say.
