How to read and reproduce the comparison

Only seasons recorded in both the results and goals studies for every displayed league are included. Counts must agree between the two studies. Each match counts once: season percentages are never averaged equally. Over 2.5 means at least three goals; both teams to score means each team scored at least once.

Match counts differ because league sizes, schedules and recorded coverage differ. The current season can be incomplete, and shared seasons do not guarantee identical coverage dates within each season. These are historical descriptions, not predictions or a ranking of league quality. The individual studies disclose their source coverage and limitations.
