Champions League team pages
No Champions League club has enough pooled first-half history here yet for its own page. A club page opens once at least 60 of its matches are on record with a posted half-time score, and at least 20 of those at each of home and away. Below that, a home-and-away split is a handful of games rather than a reading. See first half goals by league for competitions whose club pages are open.
How to read these numbers
- A high over 0.5 rate means goalless first halves are rare, not that any particular match will score.
- The gap between the over 0.5 and over 1.5 rates shows how often first halves go beyond a single goal.
- League rates are a starting point. The fixture in front of you depends on the two teams, not the average.
- Seasons are pooled, so a competition that has changed character recently reads as the average of what it was and what it is.
These are historical rates for the competition, counted from completed matches. They are not a prediction for any upcoming fixture. For match-level estimates see first half goals predictions and how the model works.
