Match scoring/conceding first in the competition

Find information on how many times a team scores or concedes the first goal in Championship 2025/26 in a flash as you have everything you need right here.

While this stat may not seem like the most important, it is nevertheless valuable data in terms of finding daily trends and patterns of a particular team in EFL Championship.

If a team usually scores first, it is a sign that it starts the match looking to attack. And if a club consistently concedes the first goal, it may mean that this team has a defence that struggles to contain the opposition long enough.

Let’s take a look at the teams who are on top of the table in scoring and conceding the first goal in Championship:

Middlesbrough is the team that has scored the first goal most often in the Championship. Of the 4 match they have played, they have scored before their opponent 80% of the time.
On the other side, Sheffield United is the team that has conceded the most opening goals in matches played. From 5 jogos, they have allowed their opposition to score first on 100% of their matches.

And as always, you can find more data points for team scoring and conceding the first goal in the form of the home and away match filter.
