What Exeter City’s first halves look like

A goal arrives before halftime in 72.8% of Exeter City’s EFL League One matches. The EFL League One figure is 68.7%, putting them 4.1pp clear of it. The other 27.2% end level and goalless.

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.
