What VVV’s first halves look like
Early goals in VVV’s matches land at the wrong end far more often than the right one: 58.6% of matches bring one against them and 35.9% bring one for them, 22.7pp apart. VVV are close to two different sides either side of the coach door: a first-half goal of their own in 43.8% of home matches, 28.1% of away ones, 15.7pp between them.
The record here is thinner than most of the division's: 128 matches against a typical 266. An early goal in VVV’s matches tends to be the only one: a second follows just 48% of the time, where the division manages 54%.
Two goals before the break is unusually hard to come by, 35.9% of VVV’s matches against 41.3% across the division. Three-goal first halves stay scarce, 10.2% of VVV’s matches against 15.4% for the division as a whole.
Every figure on this page rests on 128 completed VVV matches over 4 seasons (2017 to 2021). That is enough to separate a clear tendency from noise, and not enough to split it much further by venue or opponent.

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.
