First half table

2. Bundesliga First Half Table

The 2. Bundesliga table as it would stand if every match had ended at half-time: three points for leading at the interval, one for level. Counted from 90 matches played in 2026, using the half-time score alone.

Half-time standings

One season, not a pooled record: a table is a statement about one campaign, so these are the most recent 90 matches this competition has on record, with 18 clubs. Points, goals and goal difference all come from the half-time score, so a side that led 1-0 at the interval and lost 1-3 takes three points here.

How a first-half table differs from the real one

It is the same competition scored at the interval instead of at full time, so it says which sides start matches on the front foot and which spend the opening 45 minutes chasing. A club that routinely goes in level and wins late finishes well below its real position here; one that leads early and is pegged back finishes above it.

  • Points are 3 for a half-time lead, 1 for level.The competition’s own rules are deliberately not applied: no deductions, no bonus points, no play-off split. This answers “what if the whistle went at 45”, and importing a deduction would make it half one thing and half another.
  • It is not a prediction. Every figure is counted from matches already played. A side top of this table is a side that has led at half-time often, which is a fact about the past rather than an estimate of the next match.
  • A match with no posted half-time score is counted by nobody. Treating one as 0-0 would hand out a draw that never happened and understate both clubs.
