2 continental and national-team matches: Nations League 2.
How it's measured
Each measure is a percentile rank among GoalPost's 222 stadium pages, and the stature is their average. Major finals: a World Cup, European Championship or Champions League final counts three; a Copa América, Copa Libertadores, Europa League or Club World Cup final two; a Conference League, Copa Sudamericana, Africa Cup of Nations, Asian Cup or Gold Cup final one; a final over two legs is shared between its grounds, and a ground built on an older one's site counts from its own opening (the old Wembley's finals are not the new one's). Big nights: continental club and national-team matches since July 2021, from GoalPost's archive. Home club: the best GoalPost Rating (GPR) among the clubs that play here. This season's matches are shown, not ranked.

Home side's goals minus the visitors', a game; the line is the 95% interval.
The Championship's clubs differ at home a little more than chance would make them (about 35% of the spread is real), but too little over five seasons to rank grounds by, so GoalPost doesn't.
How it's measured
Every regular-season match of the five seasons in GoalPost's archive: the home side's goals minus the visitors', averaged, with its 95% interval. For the clubs, each one's goal difference a game at home is set against its own away, where it meets the same opponents, so its strength cancels out; the question is how much of the spread between clubs that leaves is more than five seasons of chance would produce.
