How to Use Our Over 0.5 First Half Goals Stats
Over 0.5 First Half Goals is one of the most straightforward football betting markets — just one goal before half-time and the bet wins. When backed by the right data it's also one of the most consistent. Here's how to get the most from this page.
Each fixture shows a combined percentage, raw game numbers, average goals scored and conceded, and the current odds. Use the combined percentage as your guide — the higher the figure, the more consistently both teams have been involved in matches producing at least one first-half goal this season.
What is the combined percentage and how is it calculated?
Every fixture on this page shows a combined Over 0.5 First Half Goals percentage. This is calculated by looking at how often the home team has produced over 0.5 first half goals in their home games this season, and how often the away team has produced over 0.5 first half goals in their away games — then combining those two figures into a single percentage.
A combined figure of 85% means that in more than eight out of ten comparable games this season, at least one goal has been scored before half-time. Because the threshold is low — just one first-half goal — percentages on this page tend to be higher than goals markets like Over 2.5. That means the bar for a genuinely strong selection is higher too. Look for 85%+ rather than settling for 70–75%.
What makes a strong Over 0.5 First Half Goals selection?
The best picks combine a high combined percentage with a meaningful sample size. A fixture showing 90% from 20 combined games is a much stronger signal than 90% from just 6 games. We show the raw numbers alongside the percentage — 18/20 tells you more than just 90% — so always check the sample size before committing.
Also look at the average goals scored in the first half for each team. A home side that regularly scores or concedes within the first 45 minutes is a naturally compelling candidate — and our average goals data helps you spot exactly that.
Should I use these picks as singles or in an accumulator?
Both work well depending on your betting style.
For singles, Over 0.5 First Half Goals offers high confidence and quick results — you know the outcome by half-time. A fixture at 90%+ combined from a large sample size is as reliable as football betting gets.
For accumulators, aim for five or six fixtures at 85%+ with a sample size of 15+ games each. Stacking high-percentage first-half selections produces attractive accumulator odds while keeping each individual pick firmly grounded in data. First-half accumulators also settle at half-time, which many bettors prefer over waiting for the full 90 minutes.
Can I combine Over 0.5 First Half Goals with other markets?
Yes — it pairs naturally with a range of other markets. Fixtures strong on Over 0.5 First Half Goals often also perform well on Over 1.5 First Half Goals and Over 2.5 Goals for a layered, data-driven approach to the same fixture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Below is a list of our most commonly asked questions. If you can't find a solution here, please don't hesitate to contact us via our contact page.
What does Over 0.5 First Half Goals mean in football betting?
Over 0.5 First Half Goals is a market where you predict at least one goal will be scored before half-time. It doesn't matter which team scores — as long as the net is hit in the first 45 minutes, the bet wins. It's one of the lowest-risk markets in football betting and settles at half-time.
What does the combined percentage mean on your stats page?
The combined percentage takes the home team's Over 0.5 First Half Goals rate in their home games this season and the away team's rate in their away games, then combines them into a single figure. It's more accurate than looking at either team's overall record because it accounts for home and away context — some teams start games aggressively at home but are more cautious on the road.
What percentage should I look for when backing Over 0.5 First Half Goals?
Because the threshold is just one first-half goal, percentages on this page are naturally higher than full-match goals markets. We recommend looking for a combined percentage of 85% or above — ideally 90%+ from a sample size of at least 15 combined games. Fixtures below 80% combined are worth treating with more caution regardless of the odds.
What is the difference between Over 0.5 and Over 1.5 First Half Goals?
Over 0.5 requires just one goal before half-time, making it the safer and lower-odds option. Over 1.5 First Half Goals requires two or more goals in the first half — higher risk but better odds. Our Over 1.5 First Half Goals page uses the same data-driven approach if you want to explore that market.
Which leagues produce the most Over 0.5 First Half Goals results?
Leagues with attacking, high-tempo football tend to produce the most first-half goals — the German Bundesliga, Dutch Eredivisie, and English Championship are consistently strong. However, team-by-team stats matter more than the league. Our stats cover 100+ leagues so you can find value wherever the numbers point.
Can I use Over 0.5 First Half Goals in an accumulator?
Yes — it's one of the most popular first-half markets for accumulators. The high win rate and quick settlement at half-time make it ideal for multi-leg bets. Aim for fixtures showing 85%+ combined from a solid sample size, and consider pairing with Over 2.5 Goals or BTTS for fixtures compelling across multiple markets.
Is Over 0.5 First Half Goals good for beginners?
Yes — it's one of the best starting markets for anyone new to football betting. The outcome is simple, the stats are easy to read, and the win rate is high when selections are data-driven. Start with this page and explore more markets with a Pro subscription when you're ready.
How often are the Over 0.5 First Half Goals stats updated?
