when a team is playing at the home ground performs very good, but same team at the visit of an other team, why its not that good as it was on home? what are the technical aspects and realities behind it?

It's been proven that home ground advantage is really an advantage!
A study of football and ice- hockey teams carried out by scientists in Canada has revealed that team members playing at home experience higher levels of testosterone, the male sex hormone, compared with those playing away. And the authors of the report suggest an evolutionary behavioural link — relating to the basic need to protect territory.

Home team:
- pyschological advantage (they are expected to win, they will naturally perform better because they know they will)
- Familiarity with pitch, (also pyschological, good experiences)
- More of your fans, which will give you a mental boost and adrenaline rush

NOT ALL PITCHES ARE THE SAME SIZE. IF YOU ARE NOT FAMILIAR WITH WHAT THE INSIDE OF THE GROUND IS LIKE IT CAN DIS ORIENTATE YOU. NOT ALL THE SURFACES ARE THE SAME. AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST THE HOME TEAM WILL HAVE FAR MORE SUPPORTERS CHEERING THEM ON.

it's like when you are at your home and when you are somewhere guest. why do you feel better at your home? because you are familiar with, and in soccer, thousands of fans are encouraging the team while playing at home city.
