Comprehensive Analysis of Football Betting Leagues and Tips

Goal Statistics

Which Leagues Produce the Most Goals Per Game?

When you combine all of the leagues and look at the average number of goals per game, that number stands at 2.69 goals per game. The top league for goals is the Singapore Premier League, which has, on average, produced 3.95 goals per game, which is +1.26 more than the average. At the other end of the spectrum, the least-producing league in terms of match goals is the South African Premier League, which has an average of 2.07 goals per game, some -0.62 fewer than the average.

Here are the top five goal-producing leagues:

• 3.95: Singapore Premier League
• 3.19: Australia NSW Premier League
• 3.15: Germany Bundesliga I
• 3.14: Australia Victoria Premier League
• 3.13: Netherlands Eerste Divisie

Best Leagues for Underdogs

All punters love an underdog; that is because of the bigger odds, and if you can get them right, then a better return for your money, but they are underdogs for a reason with the bookies, so caution has to be taken when backing these. Regarding which league has the best record for underdogs winning that we cover on OLBG, that would be England National League South, which has seen 28.56% of underdogs go on to beat the favourites.

Here are the top five leagues for underdog winners:

• 28.56%: England National League South
• 28.53%: Australia A-League
• 27.32%: Scotland League Two
• 27.10%: England Championship
• 27.08%: Sweden Superettan

Best Leagues for 1×2

Home advantage can be one of the biggest factors in football, the familiarity with the facilities, the support of the majority of the fans and things like knowing how the pitch will play can all be big advantages. The league which tops the list when it comes to success at home is the USA MLS, which over the past five completed seasons has seen 49.04% of the home teams go on to win their matches.

Travelling is a much more difficult side of the game; teams can travel up and down countries, having to stay overnight in hotels, which can affect routines, and then they have to play in front of opposing fans, meaning picking up wins on the road is much rarer. Having said that, the top league for away wins is the Singapore Premier League, which has seen 37.61% of the visiting teams come away with a win, according to data from https://footballpredictiontips.com/.

Plenty of punters like to play draws, for matches they see as close, then maybe the draw is the best option, it usually offers plenty of value too, which is why it is so popular. Looking over the leagues, with a strike rate of 32.98% for draws, it's the South African Premier League which tops the list for the largest percentage of games finishing in draws.

Best Leagues for Winning Favourites

How often the bookies get it right is the next thing to look at. By this, we mean which league tops the list when it comes to winning favourites and which is the most reliable for backing favourites. With a total of 62.61% winning favourites, the league coming out on top is the Singapore Premier League. If focusing on just favourites when playing at home, then it is also the Singapore Premier League, which still comes out on top with 65.10% of those favourites winning.

Here are the top five leagues for best-performing favourites:

• 62.61%: Singapore Premier League
• 61.53%: Northern Ireland Premier
• 59.27%: Serbia Super Liga
• 57.93%: Australia Victoria Premier League
• 57.65%: China CSL

I am backing Over 2.5 Goals. Which league is best?

If BTTS isn't for you and you like the Over 2.5 Goals bet better, which means you don't need both teams to score, one team could score 3+ goals, and your bet would be good. The Singapore Premier League is the most productive for games finishing with three or more goals; the league has seen 72.44% of the games do just that. One league that may be worth avoiding when it comes to the Over 2.5 Goals bet is the South African Premier League, as just 34.21% of games would have been successful with three or more goals.

Best Leagues for the Over 2.5 Goals bet:

• 72.44%: Singapore Premier League
• 61.05%: Germany Bundesliga I
• 60.77%: Netherlands Eerste Divisie
• 60.75%: Norway Eliteserien
• 60.34%: Australia Victoria Premier League
