| Abstrakt EN: | Home team advantage in sports is widely analysed phenomenon. This paper builds on results of recent research that -- instead of points gained -- uses goals scored and conceded to describe home team advantage. Using this approach, the home team advantage is random variable that can be described by trinomial distribution, and it is possible to use Jeffrey divergence and test for homogeneity of parallel samples to compare and test home team advantage of different leagues. The paper also introduces procedure that is based on identification of all distances between home advantages of leagues. These distances are later used to construct disconnected graph with components that contain leagues with similar home team advantage. Procedures are demonstrated on five top level English football leagues and two top level Spanish leagues from the 2007/2008 season to the 2016/2017 season. |
