The issue of competitive balance is not normally considered in the study of home advantage.
This paper focuses on home advantage, assessing and comparing it between seasons. The strength
of the teams is estimated and linked with competitive balance. The results support that, in both the
eighties and early nineties, the home advantage is more visible. After that, it tends to decrease.
Meanwhile, competitive balance increases until the nineties and after that, the trend becomes
unclear. The changes in the structure of the championship and the reward point system have
affected the Portuguese league.
