 Home Advantage?
Topic Originator: Stanza  
Date:   Wed 5 Nov 22:22

Just noticed that five of the top six teams in our league are playing away this weekend, with only DAFC having a home match. All we have to do is beat the league leaders ...

That`ll change by the end of the season, Jeffrey. It`s very unusual for a team to have a better away record over a large number of games.

Statistically, the ratio of home wins to away is 3:2 worldwide.

Didn’t we have a season under Stevie Crawford where we only won one home game all season?

Don`t know about that, but I do remember one season around then when, with one of each to go, we were guaranteed to have the best away and worst home records in the division.

Yeah, I remember that, too, precisely because it`s such an unusual occurrence - the so-called exception that proves the rule. I doubt there`s a single player or manager who prefers to play away rather than at home unless they`re getting a hard time from their own fans.
