Which team's games produce the most goals in the First Division?

In the 2026 campaign, Bray Wanderers lead the First Division in combined goal volume: their 38 fixtures have produced 126 goals in total, working out to 3.32 per game when both sides of the scoreline are counted. The away picture is equally lively — Bray Wanderers road games average 2.95 goals, suggesting their fixtures tend to deliver action regardless of venue.

Close behind are UCD and Cork City, both sustaining high scoring rates this season. UCD have clocked up 122 combined goals across 38 outings (3.21/game), while Cork City have registered 109 over 36 matches (3.03/game). A blended average of 3.12 between the two confirms that prolific fixtures extend well beyond a single outlier this term.

At the other extreme, Kerry FC's fixtures are the quietest in the First Division, generating just 14 combined goals across 6 matches — a per-game rate of 2.33. Punters looking at Under 2.5 or low-scoring markets could find Kerry FC a recurring reference point this season.

Betting Angle — Over/Under Markets

For Over/Under markets, teams with an average above 3.09 are statistically strong Over 2.5 candidates, while those below 2.49 are better suited to Under markets. Always compare home and away averages separately — home advantage can shift the line significantly.
