One of the great fears of the clubs in the face of the new normality was the disappearance of the field factor. for the absence of the hobby. In Germany, of course, it was noted, going from 43% of wins to just 20%. This has not happened in the First Division, with four local wins with Barcelona and Atlético playing away from home.

With the calculator in hand, day 32 has left 18% of local victories, 45% of draws and 36% of visiting success. The public is a precious asset and, in Second, its absence is already paying dearly …
