Is home advantage overrated? Does playing three straight home games actually make a team stronger?

I came across some interesting stats recently: teams that play three consecutive home matches see a noticeable boost in their win percentage. But fans of away teams love saying, “That’s just an excuse - the quality of the squad is what really matters.”

Personally, I think home advantage is real. The crowd, the familiar pitch, the comfort of routine — it all adds up. But at the same time, some teams play at home like it’s a neutral stadium anyway, so the debate never really ends.

Do you believe in home advantage?
Or do you think the whole thing is blown out of proportion?

Which team has the easiest fixture run to break into the Top 4 this season?

I was checking the fixture calendar and honestly had to laugh. There’s this one Top 6 team (I won’t name names to avoid a fan war 😆) that has a run of five unbelievably easy matches coming up. If they don’t break into the Top 4 with that schedule, they’ve only got themselves to blame.

Some fans say the fixture list doesn’t matter because “a strong team should beat everyone.” But I seriously think the schedule shapes a team’s momentum more than people want to admit. Facing five weaker teams in a row is completely different from hitting a Big Six opponent every other week.

What do you think - does the fixture list actually reveal anything?
Is there a team enjoying a “free win schedule,” or should we just wait and see what happens on the pitch?
