Football: Ahead at HT Stats

What happens when you team is winning at HT?  What does the HT cuppa really mean to your team, does the manager's team talk really have any affect? Do you team own a sense of superiority that makes other teams wilt?

Again most of this information is freely avaiable on the interweb thingy, but quite happy to share some of my data.  The data is for last season and shows the teams performance overall, at home and when away from home.

But what does it really show you? At the top of the leagues , it pays to be ahead at HT, if you were a Euro qualifying team then winning at HT was a good bet for the final score.  The teams that appear to struggle to hold a HT lead are those that may have just been promoted. This sort of knowledge can help when trading your way through the game. If I can work out how to get a full screen of Overall/Home/Away onto one screen I will publish the full spreadsheet.
