Some leagues are built for goals and some for tight, low-scoring games. This page compares every league we track on goals per game, how often both teams score, and how often a match goes over 2.5 goals, over the last year. It updates itself as matches are played.

How to read this
- 'Both score' is the share of matches where both teams scored; 'Over 2.5' where there were 3 goals or more.
- League averages are the starting point our model adjusts for each match: they are not a pick on their own.
- Leagues with fewer than 30 matches in the period are left out.
How to read it
"Goals a game" is the average total in a match. "Both score" is the share of matches where both teams scored at least once; "Over 2.5" the share with three goals or more. Leagues with fewer than thirty finished matches in the period are left out.
Where the numbers come from
Every finished match in the leagues we track counts, from the last twelve months. That is long enough to cover a full season in most leagues, and it means a league that changed its style recently will show it within a few months. Cup competitions and friendlies are kept apart, because their scoring patterns differ.
Using league numbers well
A league average is a starting point, not a pick. Our model starts from each league's own scoring level and home advantage, then adjusts for the two teams: how many chances they create and concede, their recent form, rest and team news. A low-scoring league can still produce a likely over when two open, attacking sides meet, and the match page will say so.
Home and away
Goals also depend on where a match is played. Home sides score more almost everywhere, but by very different amounts:
| League | Matches | Home wins | Draws | Away wins | Goals home | Goals away |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Torneo Federal A | 504 | 49% | 32% | 18% | 1.20 | 0.71 |
