First half tables

First Half League Tables

Half-time standings for 43 competitions: how each league would look if every match had ended at the interval, with three points for leading at half-time and one for level. Counted from completed matches with a posted half-time score.

What a first-half table is

The same competition, scored at 45 minutes instead of at 90. A side that leads at the interval takes three points here whatever happens afterwards, and a side level at half-time takes one. It is the clearest way to see which clubs start matches on the front foot and which spend the opening half chasing, because it strips out everything that happens after the break.

• One season per league. A table is a statement about a single campaign, so each of these covers the most recent season the competition has on record rather than pooling years together. Every page states its own window and match count.
• Points, goals and goal difference all come from the half-time score. The competition’s own rules are not applied: no deductions, no bonus points, no play-off split.
• It is history, not a forecast. Leading this table means a club has been in front at half-time often, which is a fact about matches already played.

How to read one

A club above its real position

Starts fast. It has been in front at the interval more often than its full-time record suggests, which is the profile of a side that scores early and then defends a lead, or one that keeps losing points after the break.

A club below it

Finishes strongly. Its full-time points have been earned after half-time, so the first 45 minutes are where it is weakest.
