The Blues most recently were pegged back to a 2-2 draw against Southampton at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday, a result which means they have now won just once in their last six domestic matches on home soil.
Ba, who joined the west London giants from Newcastle at the beginning of January, knows the importance of home-ground advantage, and is hoping his team-mates can start making the most of that as they look to close the 13-point gap to league leaders Manchester United.
"It's different when teams come here because they just want to defend and don't want to lose," Ba, who will be hoping to start when Arsenal visit Stamford Bridge on Sunday, told Chelsea TV.
"When we go away, the opponents always look to take their chances and they think they can win at home. That's why the games are always more open when we play away, but at home we need to get back to winning ways.
"We had some good moments against Southampton, but some bad ones as well. They were lucky to only go in at half-time 2-0 down because it could have been more, but we need to finish all the chances we have and put the ball in the back of the net.
"At the end of the day, though, we conceded two goals, and went back home with only a point. Southampton came back and we let them believe they could get something from the game and they took their chance."
