Premier League first-half scoring

That places Premier League 6 of 12 among the leagues covered here for how often a first half produces a goal. Figures pool every season held for the competition, so they describe the league’s long-run tendency rather than current form.

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.

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 how the model works and its results and calibration history.
