#4 Goals and tempo of the matches

The current season has seen 2.79 goals per game so far

The most exciting thing about football are the goals. As of now in the 2018-19 Premier League season, a total of 90 matches have been played. Even with top strikers like Kane, Salah and Lukaku being out of form, the Premier League teams have collectively netted 251 goals.

With an average of 2.79 goals per match Premier League is only second to Bundesliga in terms of goals per game. In general, the tempo of games in the English top tier is very high. Whether it is Klopp’s high pressing Liverpool team or Guardiola’s tiki-taka Manchester City almost all the teams of the league are equally entertaining.

The heat of the games is too high and there are very fewer games that end in a goalless draw. This season only 7 matches out of total 90 have finished in a 0-0 stalemate (7.78% matches).
