Abstract

This research studies second leg home advantage in football. Spanish Copa del Rey football eighth-finals (round of 16), quarter-finals (round of 8) and semi-finals (round of 4) from 1940-41 to 2013-14 have been analyzed, adding up to 2056 matches and 1028 play-offs. A non-parametric binomial contrast was applied to determine the influence of playing at home, while a binary logistic regression was used to show the explanatory proportion of goals after winning the qualifying round following the first confrontation. The results confirmed significant differences between playing as local or visitor (location) in the first or second match of the tie. Learning to manage the goals margin according to location with possible consequences on the selection of the more appropriate playing model, among others, suggest the specificity of this competition system. These results can help trainers to get a more ecological design of tasks with the real situation of matches.
