Came across this study that looked at 52k matches with closing odds across 22 European leagues.
Main findings that stood out:
- Serie B is the hardest (favourites win only 44.8%)
- Ligue 2 close behind
- Primeira Liga most predictable (56.3%)
- Division level matters more than the country
Methodology seems solid; closing odds, decent sample size. curious what people here think.
I personally thought EPL was the harderst on, but data says otherwise. Does this match what you’ve observed watching these leagues?
