What these numbers are, and are not
- Over 2.5 is the share of matches that finished with three goals or more, counted over every match in the sample, not a selection. Over 1.5 and Over 3.5 work the same way, and goals per match is the average total at full time.
- The average league is the simple average of the 82 leagues in the table: 50.5% Over 2.5 and 2.73 goals per match, each league counting once.
- Friendlies, youth, reserve and women's competitions are left out, and so are domestic cups. This is a record of what happened, and past rates don't guarantee anything about the next match.
