What EIF’s first halves look like
EIF are close to two different sides either side of the coach door: a first-half goal of their own in 64.7% of home matches, 42.6% of away ones, 22.1pp between them. No published club in the division leans on its own ground more than EIF do for early goals.
Most of the early scoring in EIF’s matches is their own doing. They find the net before the break in 53.7% of matches and let one in during 44.9%, 8.8pp apart. There is more record to read here than for most of the division: 136 matches against a typical 110.
First halves here rarely stop at one: where EIF’s matches produce an early goal, a second follows 55% of the time, against 50% across the division. EIF attack the first half better than they guard it: 3rd of 14 in the division for scoring before halftime, 7th for keeping the other side out.
Every figure on this page rests on 136 completed EIF matches over 5 seasons (2021 to 2026). 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.
