What KuPS’ first halves look like
Early scoring in KuPS’ matches is overwhelmingly their own: the net bulges at the right end before the break in 57.5% of matches and at the wrong one in 33.3%, 24.2pp apart. KuPS are close to two different sides either side of the coach door: a first-half goal of their own in 65.9% of home matches, 48.8% of away ones, 17.1pp between them.
A KuPS home first half is worth 1.52 goals on average, an away one 0.98. An early goal in KuPS’ matches tends to be the only one: a second follows just 45% of the time, where the division manages 50%.
Counted in goals rather than matches, KuPS put 0.84 past the opposition before the break each game and ship 0.41. Two goals before the break is unusually hard to come by, 33.3% of KuPS’ matches against 36.5% across the division.
Every figure on this page rests on 87 completed KuPS matches over 3 seasons (2024 to 2026). At that size a single percentage point is about one match, so read each rate as a range rather than a figure.

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.
