Liga Portugal teams: first-half goals

Every club with enough Liga Portugalhistory to carry its own page. “Scored” and “conceded” are the share of matches in which the club scored or conceded at least once before halftime: a frequency, not a per-match average, so a 3-0 first half and a 1-0 first half each count once.

How to read these numbers

  • A high over 0.5 rate means goalless first halves are rare, not that any particular match will score.
  • The gap between the over 0.5 and over 1.5 rates shows how often first halves go beyond a single goal.
  • League rates are a starting point. The fixture in front of you depends on the two teams, not the average.
  • Seasons are pooled, so a competition that has changed character recently reads as the average of what it was and what it is.

These are historical rates for the competition, counted from completed matches. They are not a prediction for any upcoming fixture. For match-level estimates see first half goals predictions and how the model works.

For which clubs are actually ahead at the interval rather than how often the goals come, see the Liga Portugal first half table: the same competition scored at half-time, with three points for leading at the break.
