Which team's games produce the most goals in the FAI Cup?

In the 2026 campaign, Dundalk lead the FAI Cup in combined goal volume: their 3 fixtures have produced 18 goals in total, working out to 6.00 per game when both sides of the scoreline are counted. The away picture is equally lively — Dundalk road games average 5.00 goals, suggesting their fixtures tend to deliver action regardless of venue.

Close behind are College Corinthians and Castlebar Celtic, both sustaining high scoring rates this season. College Corinthians have clocked up 15 combined goals across 3 outings (5.00/game), while Castlebar Celtic have registered 12 over 3 matches (4.00/game). A blended average of 4.50 between the two confirms that prolific fixtures extend well beyond a single outlier this term.

At the other extreme, Bohemians's fixtures are the quietest in the FAI Cup, generating just 8 combined goals across 3 matches — a per-game rate of 2.67. Punters looking at Under 2.5 or low-scoring markets could find Bohemians a recurring reference point this season.

Betting Angle — Over/Under Markets

For Over/Under markets, teams with an average above 3.94 are statistically strong Over 2.5 candidates, while those below 3.34 are better suited to Under markets. Always compare home and away averages separately — home advantage can shift the line significantly.
