1. Home Advantage: How much a team's results improve on their own ground versus on the road — a combined signal from both attack and defence.

2. Scored: Compares goals scored per game at home against goals scored per game away. A positive figure means the team finds the net more easily at home.

3. Defence: Compares goals conceded per game at home against goals conceded away. A positive figure means the team keeps opponents quieter on their own turf.

The combined Home Advantage score is the average of the Scoring and Defence figures, weighted equally.

Goal-based metrics give a sharper picture of home performance than win/loss records alone, since they reflect the margin of each match.

World Cup (World) — Home Defence Analysis

Colombia has the best home defensive record in the World Cup (World), conceding just 0.00 goals/match at home compared to 0.50 away — a Defence Advantage of +100%. This makes them an excellent Clean Sheet and Under 2.5 candidate in home fixtures. On the flip side, Spain concedes more at home (0.25/match) than away (0.00/match), suggesting their home defence struggles despite the crowd backing. High Defence Advantage combined with low scoring opponents points strongly to Under 2.5 and BTTS No outcomes.
