hometeam

Not the visitors

Home team refers to the team playing on its own field or in its own city, as opposed to the visiting team.

In sports, the home team typically bats second in baseball and appears on the right side of scoreboards.

The term extends figuratively to any group with the advantage of familiar territory: We've got the home team on our side.
