What UCD’s first halves look like
Early goals in UCD’s matches land at the wrong end far more often than the right one: 72.2% of matches bring one against them and 18.1% bring one for them, 54.1pp apart. Away from home the back line is barely the same unit: 83.3% of away matches bring an early goal against UCD, next to 61.1% at home.
UCD carry the smallest home-and-away difference of any published club in the division on that measure. A goal arrives before halftime in 76.4% of UCD’s Premier Division matches. The Premier Division figure is 68.7%, so they clear their own division by a wide 7.7pp. The other 23.6% end level and goalless.
They are well behind before halftime on aggregate: 1.08 conceded a game against 0.18 scored. Only 1 published Premier Division club beats UCD for the share of their first halves that produce a goal.
Every figure on this page rests on 72 completed UCD matches over 2 seasons (2022 to 2023). 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.
