I found this sentence in my grammar book:
(a) I stayed home from work because I wanted to watch the World Cup final on TV
Could I say instead of "a"?
(b) Today I didn't go to work, instead I stayed home because I wanted to watch the World Cup final on TV.
(a) I stayed home from work because I wanted to watch the World Cup final on TV
Could I say instead of "a"?
(b) Today I didn't go to work, instead I stayed home because I wanted to watch the World Cup final on TV.

Yes, but you would have to make one small change to "b".
instead I stayed home because... (remove "of")

I think those two should be different sentences:
I didn't go to work today. Instead, I stayed home because I wanted to watch the World Cup final on TV.
Or change it to:
Instead of going to work, I stayed home because I wanted to watch the World Cup final on TV.
