What is 'home advantage'?
'Home advantage' refers to the benefit a team gets from playing in their own stadium, like Porto at the Estádio do Dragão. This can be due to familiar surroundings, less travel, and crucially, the support of their home crowd, which can intimidate opponents and boost player morale. Porto's unbeaten home record in Europe highlights this effect.
