The first-half goal average is lower than for the full match, so the first-half over side usually opens at high odds.

What this number tells you — and what it doesn't
- It tells you: how often this outcome happened in the past while the opening odds sat inside a given band.
- It doesn't tell you: what will happen in the next match. It is a count of past matches, not a prediction, and it carries no guarantee of winnings.
- Only the opening odds are used; closing odds are not part of this page. For the closing side, see Closing Odds Analysis.
- Outcomes are derived from the score, not stored — when a score is corrected, the statistics correct themselves at the next update.
- Of the 83,159 matches with odds, an outcome could be calculated for 81,010; the rest are matches whose score has not arrived yet and they are not counted in the denominator.
