vertauschtes Heimrecht
fixture mix-up


Explanation:
Note that I added the adjective to the source term (also see http://www.proz.com/kudoz/1087943 ).

I would translate "Terminal" as "terminal" in this particular case.

disagree  John Owen: I disagree with the "mix-up". In most cases this is not a matter of the home advantage being lost due to outside forces and is more a simple agreement between the teams. I would suggest "swap home advantage".
