First goal, leading & trailing
|
Watford | |
| Leading & trailing (total) | |
| OPENING GOALS (total) | Matches | ||
| Team scored first | 3 / 8 | 38% | |
| Opponent scored first | 5 / 8 | 62% | |
| HALF-TIME LEAD (total) | Matches | ||
| Team was leading at HT | 1 / 8 | 12% | |
| Opponent was leading at HT | 5 / 8 | 62% | |
| AVERAGE DURATIONS (total) | per match | |||
| Average minutes leading | 13.5 min. | 15% | ||
| Average minutes level in goals | 38.5 min. | 43% | ||
| Average minutes trailing | 38.0 min. | 42% | ||
| Note: in the table above, to allow for averaging duration values based on a total of 90 minutes per game, goals scored on the 45th minute and during added time of the first half are all considered to be scored on the 45th minute, and goals scored on the 90th minute and during added time of the second half are also considered scored on the 90th minute. | ||||
| In this example, Watford have been in the lead for an average duration of 13.5 minutes per match (based on a 90-minute match duration), which is lower than the average duration of 38.0 minutes per match during which their opponents were in the lead in those matches. | ||||
