Local factor and its influence on football: quantitative analysis of brazilian championship series A
Abstract
Introduction: There are several reasons that influence the outcome of a football match. The local factor is broadly discussed as being largely responsible for the success of a team. Aim: Our aims were to analyze the influence of the local factor in the outcome of a football match; find what the difference in winning a championship; and compare the performance and as principal guest champions and vice-champions. Materials and Methods: We record all results of the Brazilian Championship Serie A from 1971 to 2013. Results and Discussion: The results show that 97.6% of forty-three leagues analyzed, the local factor accounted for a greater amount of victories for principals teams, the local factor can be a significant tool in the success in football matches. Subsequently, we compared the exploitations of the champions and runners-up in all the seasons: working outside the home, 65.1% to 34.1% against champion teams of second placed; and acting in their fields, 72% versus 28%, respectively. We believe that the current football requires a team that craves to seek title and always get the best performance in both domains. Conclusion: It is believed that the local factor directly influences the outcome of a football match. Thus with these enormous advantages and a balance when analyzed isolated seasons, the team that can add the most points out of their domains is presented as overwhelming favorite for the title.
