A recent letter sent to the Journal of Human Kinetics' editor (Gómez & Pollard, 2014) warned about a supposed methodology error in the calculation of home advantage in football leagues used in Saavedra et al. (2013) and took the liberty of modifying the research's data. The aim of this letter is to demonstrate that the evaluation system of the home advantage proposed by Pollard (1986) contains serious inconsistencies when applied to competitions which give three points for a win and one point for a draw, as it is the case of the UEFA football leagues in the 21th century.
最近寄给《人类动力学杂志》编辑的一封信（戈麦斯和波拉德，2014年）警告称，萨韦德拉等人（2013年）在计算足球联赛主场优势时存在所谓的方法错误，并擅自修改了该研究的数据。这封信的目的是证明，波拉德（1986年）提出的主场优势评估系统在应用于21世纪欧洲足球联盟足球联赛那样赢一场得三分、平一场得一分的比赛时，存在严重的不一致性。
