What Young Boys’ first halves look like
Young Boys are close to two different sides either side of the coach door: a first-half goal of their own in 60.5% of home matches, 44.7% of away ones, 15.8pp between them. Travel costs Young Boys at the back: 50.0% of their away matches bring an early goal against, next to 36.8% of home ones.
Once the scoring starts here it keeps going: a second goal follows the first 66% of the time, well clear of the 54% the division manages. Most of the early scoring in Young Boys’ matches is their own doing. They find the net before the break in 52.6% of matches and let one in during 43.4%, 9.2pp apart.
A goal arrives before halftime in 69.7% of Young Boys’ Super League matches. The Super League figure is 75.2%, leaving them 5.5pp short of it. A goalless first half remains common all the same, at 30.3%. Two goals before the break is no rarity in this fixture: 46.1% of Young Boys’ matches get there, where the division manages 40.6%.
Every figure on this page rests on 76 completed Young Boys 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.
