Abstract

Ev sahibi avantajı, başta futbol olmak üzere birçok takım sporunda önemli bir fenomendir. Son yıllarda giderek artan önemi nedeniyle daha fazla araştırma yapılmaktadır. Araştırmalar, seyirci desteği ve sahaya aşinalık gibi faktörlerin sadece ev sahibi takımın performansını artırmakla kalmadığını, aynı zamanda rakip takımlar üzerinde psikolojik olarak olumsuz etkileri olabileceğini göstermektedir. Bu derleme, mevcut bulguları analiz ederek ve katkıda bulunan faktörleri değerlendirerek futbolda ev sahibi avantajını araştırmayı amaçlamaktadır. Geleneksel bir derleme yöntemi izleyen bu çalışma, elit futbolda ev sahibi avantajına odaklanmıştır. Bulgular, elit futbolda ev sahibi olma avantajını vurgulamaktadır. Ev sahibi takımlar gol, şut, isabetli şut, pas ve isabetli pas gibi temel maç performans göstergelerinde deplasman takımlarından daha iyi performans gösterme eğilimindedir. Bununla birlikte, deplasman takımlarının, daha yüksek kart sayısı, ofsayt ve kendilerine karşı verilen penaltılarda nedeniyle, hakem yanlılığı yaşama olasılığı daha yüksektir. Ancak seyircisiz oynanan maçlarda ev sahibi avantajının azaldığını tespit edilmiştir. Sonuçlar ev sahibi avantajına katkıda bulunan en önemli faktörün seyirci desteği ve daha sonra hakem önyargısı olduğunu göstermektedir. Mevcut derleme gelecekteki araştırmalar için bazı pratik çıkarımlar sunmaktadır. Araştırmalar çoğunlukla futbolda ev sahibi olma avantajını incelerken, takım yeteneği gibi bu avantajı etkileyebilecek önemli bir faktörü göz ardı etmektedir. Bu nedenle, gelecekteki araştırmalar takım yeteneğinin ev sahibi avantajı üzerindeki olası etkilerine odaklanabilir.

Home Advantage in Football: Influencing Factors and Effects on Match Performance Indicators

Abstract

Home advantage is an important phenomenon in many team sports, particularly football. In recent years, it has been increasingly analyzed due to its increasing popularity. Studies show that factors such as spectator support and familiarity with the pitch not only improve the performance of the home team, but can also have psychologically negative effects on away teams. This review aims to explore home advantage in football by analyzing existing findings and assessing contributing factors. Following a traditional review methodology, this study focused on home advantage in elite football. The findings highlight the home advantage in elite football. Home teams tend to perform better than away teams in main match performance indicators such as goals, shots, shots on target, passes and passes on target. However, away teams are more likely to suffer from referee bias due to a higher number of cards, offside and penalties awarded against them. Nevertheless, it was found that home advantage decreased in matches played without spectators. The results show that the main factor contributing to home advantage is spectator support, followed by referee bias. The current review provides some practical implications for future research. Although research has mostly analyzed home advantage in football, it neglects an important factor such as team ability, which may influence this advantage. Therefore, future research may focus on the possible effects of team ability on home advantage.
