In Premier League, this season, there is a great variety of strikers with different game style and skills. Romelu Lukaku has the ability to displace the opponent defenders with his muscular physique, he takes advantage of the chances that his teammates create for him and creates his individual moments during the match on his own, too. Harry Kane is a real “killer” inside the box area and has a tremendous talent at the ball keeping when his team defends lower on the field. Alvaro Morata and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang have also great scoring instincts and considered top-class strikers. In case of Roberto Firmino, he is reputed to be Center Forward, but there is no actual position on the field to describe the range of his skills and the support he provides both in offensive and defensive situations.

Undoubtedly, playing away from home always adds an extra difficulty in team sports. The home advantage is commonly accepted across fans and athletes. Terms for expressing the importance of the home crowd in an exhibition, such as the 12th man (Football) or the 6th man (Basketball), are widely known. But can the same be anticipated for individual sports, too? Do the home fans hold a major role in the performance of an athlete?
