Explanation:
mando de campo = home status

Note that in Brazil some games are played on a neutral ground. Another curious aspect of Brazilian football is that the team with "mando de campo" often move the game to another location, to get more money. For example, a recent São Paulo v Corinthians game was played in Presidente Prudente, more than 500 km from São Paulo, to avoid crowd trouble (I guess they imagine that troublemakers could not afford the trip) and also to woo local supporters - the town does not have a top football team and therefore the big guns do not play there often.

Another feature is "perda de mando" by which, after crowd violence or other trouble, the team loses the right to play at home. In this case, the game is moved to a ground more than 150 km away (never the other team's ground) - in some cases the game is also played without spectators.
