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.

League One (England) — Home Defence Analysis

AFC Wimbledon has the best home defensive record in the League One (England), conceding just 0.67 goals/match at home compared to 2.43 away — a Defence Advantage of +57%. This makes them an excellent Clean Sheet and Under 2.5 candidate in home fixtures.

High Defence Advantage combined with low scoring opponents points strongly to Under 2.5 and BTTS No outcomes.
