Home advantage is on the wane in the Premier League

The Story So Far

West Ham United operate in a Premier League environment where the historic significance of home advantage is increasingly under scrutiny. Recent data indicates a sharp downturn in successes for hosting clubs, with a mere nineteen percent of matches resulting in home wins over a recent two-week period. During this spell, only four out of twenty-one fixtures saw the home side take maximum points, with only Manchester City, Crystal Palace, and Aston Villa winning. This shift is further highlighted by Tottenham Hotspur’s recent struggles, which include a heavy home loss against Arsenal. It suggests that establishing a fortress has become more difficult as teams face challenges in familiar surroundings.
