[the home advantage in sports refers to the typical finding that the home team is more likely to win. this research shows that also without a crowd present the home advantage clearly exists. furthermore, in games in which both teams are equally familiar with the playing ground, but the home team does bring the supporters, there is no home advantage. this suggests that crowd support is not needed for the home advantage, and that familiarity with the venue is likely a more important factor]
If you are interested in this work, you might also like this one. In it I test whether older players are affected by the home advantage less (as they slowly become more familiar with other fields as well). The answer is that coaches think that older players are less affected by the home advantage, but that the actual effect is likely negligible.
