The field factor: how it can affect teams in the League

Soccer gets back on track after three months of hiatus due to the coronavirus. The ball will roll again, but with the stands empty. The fans have become a relevant element for the encounters, since on many occasions they are the driving force of those who act as locals and those who intimidate visitors. So much so that in knockout rounds, more value is given to goals on other people's fields. Or for example the new German experience, whose victories for the locals has gone from 43% to 2%; while those who play at home have increased their winning percentage to 50%.

Now the concern of the field factor comes to Spain, there are many teams that looked strong in their stadium and let out very few points when they played before their people, who clothed them. Now they will lack that dose of adrenaline and heat that their fans gave them. But there is also another reality, that of visitors. There are stadiums (such as the Bernabéu, Camp Nou, Mestalla, Metropolitano, Anoeta, San Mamés) that for these reasons were very difficult to leave with any point in the portfolio. Now that situation could change. In this context, we analyze the exits that each team will make and the clubs they will receive in their field:

Barcelona

The azulgrana will defend the leadership having to travel to fiefdoms that could be considered as simpler since they do not have an audience, such as Sánchez Pizjuán or La Cerámica. On the contrary, at home, where they add 95% of the points that are at stake and have shown their greatest strength, they will have to receive rivals like Athletic, Atlético and Espanyol without the support of their public.

Real Madrid

The whites in addition to playing without their audience will do so in a different setting than usual. With the Bernabéu under construction, Madrid will play at home the remainder of the season at Alfredo Di Stéfano. There he will have to receive Eibar, Valencia, Mallorca, Getafe, Alavés and Villarreal. As for his trips, he will have to go to the Reale Arena, RCDE Stadium, San Mamés, Los Cármenes and Butarque. A priori it is an advantage to go to feuds as historically complicated as Anoeta (Reale Arena) or San Mamés without rival fans. Although in terms of playing as a visitor, the whites have already proven to be the best and the least intimidated, since they are the ones who score the most points away from their stadium.
