Ten weeks into the 2026/27 season, the goal patterns across Europe and beyond already look very different from league to league. We took 1,810 finished matches in 23 leagues from the FootyAmigo database, played between 1 August and 10 October 2026, and measured how often each league has produced Over 2.5 goals, both teams scoring, a first-half goal and a goal after the 75th minute.
Leagues are sorted by Over 2.5 goals. “Goal after 75′” means at least one goal that stood after the 75th minute (76′ onwards, including stoppage time). “0-0” is the share of goalless draws.

The Bundesliga has averaged 3.86 goals a game, with 76.7% of matches going Over 2.5 and 62.8% going Over 3.5. Goals have come early and late: 86.0% of matches had a first-half goal and 67.4% had a goal after the 75th minute. The 2. Bundesliga isn’t far behind, and stands out in one market: 51.7% of its matches have had two or more first-half goals, the highest share of any league here.
Only 58.9% of the 56 Premier League matches so far had a goal before half-time, compared with 68.1% in La Liga and 66.0% in Serie A. Over 2.5 (53.6%) and BTTS (53.6%) sit in the lower half of the table, and 32.1% of matches have been drawn.
The Championship has produced BTTS in 67.0% of its 106 matches and a first-half goal in 79.2%. Two divisions down, League Two is the opposite: 43.0% Over 2.5, 35.1% draws, and away wins in only 16.7% of matches.
A goal after the 75th minute came in 67.4% of Bundesliga matches, 65.4% in the Eliteserien, 62.5% in La Liga and 61.8% in the Eredivisie. In the Scottish Premiership it was only 36.6%. If you trade late goals in-play, the league filter matters as much as the match state.
In FootyAmigo you can build pre-match and in-play alerts with your own rules, for example limiting a first-half goals strategy to leagues where early goals have been common, or adding a live condition such as the number of corners. You can backtest an alert against past matches before you rely on it, and get notified when a match fits your rules. For today’s picks in these markets, see our first-half goals, Over 2.5 goals and BTTS pages.
