Home Advantage and How It Affects Results

    Match Day

    Home Advantage

    Playing at home gives your team a significant boost.

    The Home Bonus

    Home teams receive a flat +0.15 xG bonus. This means the home side generates slightly more expected goals, giving them an edge in tight matches.

    What This Means

    • In an evenly matched game, the home team has a clear edge
    • Away wins require either superior squad quality or smart tactical adjustments
    • When setting tactics, consider whether you're home or away

    Stadium and Attendance

    Your club's stadium and attendance levels are shown on the Club page. While attendance doesn't directly affect match results, it does impact your match day revenue.

    Away Day Strategy

    When playing away, consider:

    • A more defensive game plan (Counter Attack or Mid Block)
    • Protecting your midfield zone first
    • Setting up to frustrate the home team and exploit counter-attacks
