Home Advantage - New Zealand Regional Leagues

Which Team Has The Most Home Advantage in the Regional Leagues?

If we just talk about the home advantage of teams in the Regional Leagues, Wellington Phoenix FC Reserves, Universities of Canterbury AFC and Fencibles United AFC shows tremendous difference between home and away performance. For example, Wellington Phoenix FC Reserves scored 0% more goals at the home games compared to away games and conceded nearly 0% less goals at their home ground. Following a similar pattern, Universities of Canterbury AFC scored 0% more goals as the home team and conceded about 0% less goals. Going a little down the table South City Royals FC and Auckland United FC are enjoying a mild 0% and 0% of scoring advantage at home. Moreover, in terms of defence at home, South City Royals FC conceded 0% less goals at home and Auckland United FC shares similar stats of 0%.

Now, onto those Regional Leagues teams with 0 or negative home advantage which is rare. These teams are at the bottom of home advantage charts and they are Auckland FC II and Eastern Suburbs AFC. Neither team have been impressive at home. While Eastern Suburbs AFC scored 0% less goals playing at their home ground, Auckland FC II's output were also noticeably poor. Auckland FC II scored 0% less goals in their matches played home. They score more at away venues than at home. Auckland FC II also conceded 0% more goals at home, which is not only a rare occurrance, but also not a happy news for the Auckland FC II supporters.
