What Burnley’s first halves look like

Early scoring in Burnley’s matches is overwhelmingly their own: the net bulges at the right end before the break in 53.4% of matches and at the wrong one in 31.1%, 22.3pp apart. First halves here rarely stop at one: where Burnley’s matches produce an early goal, a second follows 54% of the time, against 46% across the division.

Burnley come 27th of 32 in the published England Championship field for the share of their first halves that produce a goal. The record here is thinner than most of the division's: 103 matches against a typical 195.

Burnley guard the first half better than they attack it: 1st of 32 in the division for early goals conceded, 5th for scoring them. Counted in goals rather than matches, Burnley put 0.81 past the opposition before the break each game and ship 0.35.

Every figure on this page rests on 103 completed Burnley matches over 3 seasons (2022 to 2026). That is enough to separate a clear tendency from noise, and not enough to split it much further by venue or opponent.

The over rows count goals by either side; the scored and conceded rows split that between them.

Home and away

Burnley score before halftime 51.9% of the time at home against 54.9% away, a gap of −3.0pp. Each row rests only on the matches played at that venue, so read them as two separate samples rather than one split in half.

How to read these numbers

• These are historical rates over pooled seasons, not a forecast. A club that has changed manager, division or squad reads as the average of every version of itself on record.
• The opponent matters as much as the club. A high-scoring side against a defense that rarely concedes early is a different fixture from the same side against one that does.

For the model’s estimate of an actual upcoming fixture rather than this club’s history, see first half goals predictions and how the model works.
