Over/Under Stats by Leagues — Rankings 2025/26
Find teams that consistently land over or under the goal line — every threshold from 1.5 to 3.5, full match and per half.
How Over/Under goal stats work
Over/Under percentages show how often a team's matches cleared specific goal thresholds — 1.5, 2.5 and 3.5 — the three goal-line stats most studied in football analytics. Higher percentages mean a team's matches produce more goals on average. The average-goals-per-match column anchors each percentage to the underlying scoring rate, separating consistent high-scorers from variance-driven outliers.

About this ranking
This league-level Over/Under ranking shows which competitions deliver the most goals per match across the 2025/26 season. Sort by Over 2.5 hit rate (the headline goal-line metric) or by average goals per match to compare across leagues with different schedules. Higher-scoring leagues — typically Bundesliga, Eredivisie and select South American competitions — produce more Over outcomes than defensive top-tier leagues. Pair with our BTTS leagues view to identify the competitions where both teams reliably contribute to the scoring.
Frequently asked questions
Which leagues historically have the highest Over 2.5 rates?
Bundesliga, Eredivisie and select South American leagues typically lead Over 2.5 rankings (often 55-65% Over 2.5). Top-tier European leagues vary — Premier League runs around 53%, La Liga and Serie A around 48-50%. Lower-tier European competitions often produce extreme Over rates due to weaker defensive structures.
How does league average goals per match compare to team-level averages?
League average is the baseline; team averages cluster around it. A team averaging 3.2 goals/match in a league with 2.6 league average is a high-scoring outlier. Compare team rankings against league averages to surface genuinely exceptional attacking sides, not just teams in high-scoring leagues.
Why do scoring rates change across the season?
Early-season scoring tends to run lower as teams adapt to new tactics and personnel; late-season scoring often spikes as relegation pressure and end-of-season fatigue produce open contests. Use the recent-form filter (last 5/10/20) to capture in-season scoring shifts that season averages miss.
What are the best leagues for Over 2.5 goals in 2025/26?
Sort the leagues table by Over 2.5 hit rate to find the highest-scoring competitions of 2025/26 — typically Bundesliga, Eredivisie and select South American leagues lead, often clearing 55-65% Over 2.5. Compare against the average-goals-per-match column to confirm consistent scoring, and use the form filter to spot in-season scoring shifts.
