Home Advantage During COVID-19: Statistical Evidence from Czech Sport
Original language description
The home advantage is a phenomenon across all sports, where the home team wins more matches and scores more goals than the away team. The home advantage is a very complex issue that is influenced by many different factors. One possible explanation is that the home fans positively influence the performance of the home team. The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively affected the world of sport. At the same time, it provided a unique opportunity to assess the impact of the home advantage on the performance of sports teams, as most of the 2020/21 season was played without spectators. The aim of the paper is to quantify the home advantage in the Czech top football and hockey leagues. The non-parametric two-sample Wilcoxon test was applied to the obtained data. The Wilcoxon test was used to compare the mean values of selected sports statistics (points scored, goals scored, etc.) in the seasons 2017/18 to 2020/21 (in seasons with and without spectators). Analysis of match statistics showed that the impact of the COVID-19 was slightly different for the two sports leagues.
