Which team's games produce the most goals in the Championship?

In the 2026 campaign, Newington Youth lead the Championship in combined goal volume: their 13 fixtures have produced 51 goals in total, working out to 3.92 per game when both sides of the scoreline are counted. The away picture is equally lively — Newington Youth road games average 3.29 goals, suggesting their fixtures tend to deliver action regardless of venue.

Close behind are Glenavon FC and Annagh United, both sustaining high scoring rates this season. Glenavon FC have clocked up 50 combined goals across 13 outings (3.85/game), while Annagh United have registered 52 over 14 matches (3.71/game). A blended average of 3.78 between the two confirms that prolific fixtures extend well beyond a single outlier this term.

At the other extreme, Ards's fixtures are the quietest in the Championship, generating just 33 combined goals across 14 matches — a per-game rate of 2.36. Punters looking at Under 2.5 or low-scoring markets could find Ards a recurring reference point this season.

Betting Angle — Over/Under Markets

For Over/Under markets, teams with an average above 3.42 are statistically strong Over 2.5 candidates, while those below 2.82 are better suited to Under markets. Always compare home and away averages separately — home advantage can shift the line significantly.
