Home/away

Hi there,

I have got a "scoreboard question" for you.

If I see the pairs home/visitor or home/guest, these make sense to me.

Could somebody please comment on the alternative pair home/away?
Is it common enough these days?

"Home/away" is unusual and apparently means the same thing as "home/visitor" or "home/guest". That is, the home team is playing at home, while the visitors are playing an "away (from their home field)" game.
