• FormStill, the away team looks a bit sharper in attack and has been scoring more recently.
• FormBoth sides have been reasonably solid at the back, but the away team’s extra threat up front gives them the edge.
• InjuryThere are no injury issues or news distractions, so this looks like a straight form-and-matchup game.
• FormThere is no recent head-to-head record here, so current form matters more than old memories.
