Lille First Half Goals

What Lille’s first halves look like
The first goal is usually the last one before the break: a second follows only 35% of the time against 48% division-wide. Getting two before the break is a stretch in this fixture: 25.0% against 35.0% across the division.
Most of the early scoring in Lille’s matches is their own doing. They find the net before the break in 47.1% of matches and let one in during 38.2%, 8.9pp apart. Three goals before the break is close to unheard of here, 7.4% against a division figure of 13.6%.
Home advantage is worth a little to Lille rather than a lot: 50.0% of home matches bring an early goal of theirs against 44.1% away. Lille guard the first half better than they attack it: 3rd of 15 in the division for early goals conceded, 8th for scoring them.
Every figure on this page rests on 68 completed Lille matches over 2 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.
