With 290 total goals scored across the season, the competition averages 2.69 goals per game, making it one of the most exciting and high-scoring competitions in world football, where attacking play and goal-scoring prowess are consistently on display.
The Europa League stands as one of the premier international football competitions in the world, with teams averaging 8.1 goals and earning 1.42 points per game, reflecting the intense competitive nature that characterizes this elite tournament.
The competitive balance score of 4.5 reveals a tightly contested competition where most teams are clustered around the average points total.
