As we know, during the football season there can be loads of football matches in-play at once on Betfair. We suggest you filter out the matches you want to trade in advance. We have added this page so you can begin to filter out the matches you want to trade by league.

The stats below show you the goal average per league and this will help you decide which leagues will most suit your trading style.

For example, if you are trading around the fact you need goals to be scored then you might want to look for leagues with a high goal average and avoid those leagues with a low goal average.

Based on the stats below you can see that if you are looking for matches with goals in England then the Premier League is the best place to starts and The Championship might be a league to avoid based on last season’s statistics as it has a low average compared to other leagues.
