why are football matches “at home” or as “visitors” treated like an advantage or disadvantage?

Question

is there any way in which this fact could affect a match by itself?

Answer 1

The night before a game you get to relax at home and sleep in your own bed. No traveling on a bus or plane. Eat your fav meal. You know the grass or turf and all its nuances. All of your equipment, staff, and backups are right there. The fans know and love you. So many advantages playing at home!
