Since the German Bundesliga season resumed behind closed doors last month, home teams have found it tougher than before to put away their opponents, with home wins plummeting to 21% while half the games have been won by away teams, according to data produced by Gracenote.

Following are the major differences in statistics between matches where spectators were allowed inside stadiums and matches behind closed doors.
