Özet
Bu çalışma, Türkiye Futbol 1. Liginde, ev sahibi olma avantajının incelenerek analiz edilmesi amacıyla yapılmıştır. On sezonluk zaman diliminde (2005/2006-2014/2015) oynanan müsabakaların sonuçları değerlendirilerek elde edilmiş olan araştırma verileri, takımların ev sahibi ve deplasman takımı olarak maç kazanma sayıları, sezonlara ve takımlara göre ev sahibi olma avantajları gibi teknik parametrelerin analizi yapılarak incelenmiştir. Elde edilen veriler SPSS 16.0 programında kaydedilmiş, frekans ve yüzde değerleri hesaplanarak yorumlanmıştır. İncelenen on sezonda oynanan toplam 3062 maçta, ev sahibi takımların galibiyet sayıları 1319 (%43.07) olurken, mağlubiyetle sonuçlanan maç sayısı 886 (%28.93) olarak belirlenmiştir. Türkiye Futbol 1. Liginin incelenen 10 sezonunda ev sahibi olma avantajı ortalaması %61.10 olarak belirlenirken, Türkiye Futbol 1. Liginde bu zaman aralığında mücadele eden takımların ev sahibi olma avantajı ortalamalarının %48.95 ile %85.71 aralığında değiştiği tespit edilmiştir. Bir sezonu şampiyon olarak tamamlayan takımların ev sahibi olma avantajı ortalamaları %56.40 olarak bulunurken, küme düşen takımlarda ise bu oranın %61.23 olduğu belirlenmiştir. Sonuç olarak, ev sahibi olma avantajı açısından Türkiye Futbol 1. Liginde de literatüre benzer sonuçlara ulaşılmasından hareketle, futbolda daha fazla puan sahibi olarak başarılı bir sezon performansı ortaya koyabilmek için deplasmanda kazanılan puanların da hedefe ulaşmada çok önemli bir kriter olduğunu söylenebilir.
