6 Reasons Why EPL Is The League To Watch In Europe

#4 Exhaustion factor and wild winter period

Premier League is the talk of the town even during the festive period

While most leagues in Europe (including the Bundesliga, the Serie A, the French Ligue 1 and the Spanish Primera Liga) have a mandatory winter break ranging from 2 weeks to around a month, the British football season does not have one.

Some of the most memorable Premier League encounters of all time have taken place in this period of time. Fans are generally treated with quality Premier League football on Boxing Day, New Year’s Eve and also on 2nd January, ensuring that the football fever does not lose its grip over football followers.

The effects of the lack of such a break are felt by teams from the league in the last legs of the season. This is a period when the players are exhausted by their season-long exertions, but they have to finish the season strongly in order to preserve their hard work of the past.

This leads to many wildly unpredictable, thrilling games at both ends of the table, leading to greater interest being generated. The rest of the European leagues are not nearly as exciting during the close-season as the Premier League, and this gives them an edge over the others.
