The home country advantage doesn’t play well either at least in the second round.
Sure, Portugal, which hosted the last competition, managed to go to the final, and France won its 1984 European Championship.
But super-favorites England in 1996, Germany in 1988, and Italy in 1980 were beaten in the semi-final in their own country.
However, with the exception of Belgium in 2000, which co-hosted the event with the Netherlands, all organizing countries managed at least to overcome the first round.
Therefore, a home dummy is significant at least in the first round and until the semi-finals

fattore campo
direi che in gergo sportivo si chiama fattore campo, la squadra che gioca in casa è favorita.
Andrebbe bene anche vantaggio casalingo, ma in questo modo si evita la ripetizione dal momento che c'è già home country advantage

pretesto / scusa del giocare in casa
Secondo me si ricollega all'inizio, dove dice che il vantaggio di giocare in casa non funziona a partire dal secondo turno (mentre tutti i paesi organizzatori hanno sempre superato il primo turno, ad eccezione del Belgio) Quindi il pretesto del giocare in casa è significativo almeno per il primo turno ....
