Europa League Predictions and Current Europa League Season Statistics
The 2026/2027 Europa League is already developing statistical profile, and it can tell us much more than the table alone. Instead of focusing only on the final result, our Europa League predictions look at a wider range of statistics, including goals, clean sheets, scoring trends, cards, corners and the percentage of matches ending with different outcomes.
The 2026/2027 season includes 52 teams, with 80 matches already played. The previous Europa League season was won by Aston Villa, while the current 2026/2027 season may produce a very different outcome. Team form, attacking efficiency and defensive consistency can all change as the competition progresses.
Europa League Stats Which We Take Into Account
Our Europa League predictions use the trends alongside the statistics of the teams involved in each upcoming fixture. That means looking beyond a simple win or loss record and considering how teams score, defend, create chances and perform in different match situations.
Which Teams Are Scoring the Most Goals?
One of the most important indicators is goals. So far, 220 goals have been scored in the tournament, giving an average of 2.75 goals per match. This helps establish how open or defensive the competition has been and provides a useful starting point for analysing upcoming fixtures.
Attacking performance is one of the key elements behind our Europa League predictions. At the moment, Benfica have scored the most goals in the competition, with 19 goals.
It is also useful to consider scoring efficiency rather than total goals alone. Lech Poznan currently have the highest average, scoring 3.75 goals per match. A high scoring average can indicate a consistently dangerous attack, although the quality of upcoming opponents should always be considered as well.
Individual players can also make a significant difference. Vangelis Pavlidis leads the scoring charts with 6 goals, followed by Danylo Sikan, who has scored 5. Their performances can influence both individual match predictions and the overall attacking profile of their teams.
Assists are another important part of attacking performance. Fernando Medeiros currently leads the tournament for assists with 4, showing how important chance creation can be alongside scoring.
Defensive Side and Clean Sheet Predictions
Goals scored are only one side of the picture. Defensive performance can be equally important when evaluating an upcoming Europa League fixture.
Qarabag FK have conceded the fewest goals or have the strongest record in preventing opponents from finding the net. Meanwhile, Besiktas have recorded the highest number of clean sheets in the competition.
At the other end of the scale, FC Thun have conceded the most goals. This difference between the strongest and weakest defensive records can be particularly useful when assessing markets such as clean sheets, total goals and both teams to score tips.
Europa League Goals Predictions
Goals markets can provide another perspective on upcoming matches. Across the Europa League, 56.25% of matches have produced more than 2.5 goals, while 43.75% have finished with fewer than three goals.
The BTTS rate currently stands at 42.5%, meaning both teams have found the net in around this share of matches.
Timing matters too. 86.36% of matches have featured goals in the first half, compared with 97.27% in the second half. These figures can help provide additional context when analysing how matches tend to develop after kick-off.
Home, Away and Draw Trends
Home advantage remains an important factor in Europa League predictions. In the current 2026/2027, 53.75% of matches have ended in home wins, while 25% have been won by the visiting team. A further 21.25% draws have finished level.
These percentages show the broader distribution of results across the competition and can be used as a baseline when comparing two teams. For example, a team with a strong home record may deserve additional consideration when playing at its own stadium.
Cards and Disciplinary Can Change the Rhythm of a Match
Discipline can also influence the way a Europa League match develops. So far, there have been 341 cards across the tournament, with an average of 4.26 cards per match.
CSKA Sofia have received the highest total number of cards, while Edison Ndreca leads the individual disciplinary statistics with 4 cards.
Which Europa League Teams Are Creating Pressure?
Corner kicks provide a clear view of attacking pressure and territorial dominance. Benfica have recorded the most corner kicks in the competition, with 45 corners during the season. But a high corner count does not necessarily translate into more goals, so it should be considered together with other scoring and possession trends.
How to Use Europa League Predictions
The purpose of our expert football predictions is to bring relevant statistics together in one place with the team form, news, lineups, injuries and substitution, or even higher level of management. Instead of relying on a single indicator, you can look through our match previews with predictions, Europa League betting tips and odds.
As the 2026/2027 Europa League progresses, these numbers will continue to change. New results can shift scoring averages, defensive rankings, Europa League standings and the balance between home and away outcomes, making the latest data an important part of every upcoming Europa League prediction.
The Europa League can produce unexpected results, and no statistical model can guarantee the outcome of a football match. Probabilities and historical trends should therefore be treated as analytical information rather than certainty.
