Data
Premier Division odds archive
Every bookmaker's opening and closing odds for 988 Premier Division matches, 2020 to 2025, joined to results. 6 seasons, one download.
Statistics from all 90 Premier Division matches in the 2020 season: 198 goals in total, an average of 2.2 per match, with the first goal arriving after 29.9 minutes on average.
When goals are scored
198 goals across the 80 matches that produced one, placed by the minute each was scored. The busiest stretch is 15-30, with 18.7% of them. 23.7% arrive from the 75th minute on, and 5.6% in stoppage time at the end.
- 0-1529 · 14.6%
- 15-3037 · 18.7%
- 30-4529 · 14.6%
- 45+3 · 1.5%
- 46-6031 · 15.7%
- 60-7522 · 11.1%
- 75-9036 · 18.2%
- 90+11 · 5.6%
Blue is the first half, grey the second, amber the two stoppage-time bins. Minutes are as recorded: first-half stoppage counts as 45+, and anything after 90 as 90+.
49.5% of goals come before half time. That figure counts first-half stoppage time, which is where most published numbers go wrong: goals in added time at the end of the half are recorded as minutes 46, 47 and 48, so cutting the match at minute 45 pushes them into the second half and gives 48% instead — out by 1.5 points.
First Goal Timing
Across 90 matches the first goal arrived after 29.9 minutes on average. The histogram shows when the opening goal was scored, in three-minute bins, including matches with no goal at all.
