Which team's games produce the most goals in the EFL Trophy?

In the 2026 campaign, Manchester City U21 lead the EFL Trophy 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 — Manchester City U21 road games average 6.00 goals, suggesting their fixtures tend to deliver action regardless of venue.

Close behind are Rochdale and Brighton U21, both sustaining high scoring rates this season. Rochdale have clocked up 16 combined goals across 3 outings (5.33/game), while Brighton U21 have registered 16 over 3 matches (5.33/game). A blended average of 5.33 between the two confirms that prolific fixtures extend well beyond a single outlier this term.

At the other extreme, AFC Wimbledon's fixtures are the quietest in the EFL Trophy, generating just 5 combined goals across 3 matches — a per-game rate of 1.67. Punters looking at Under 2.5 or low-scoring markets could find AFC Wimbledon a recurring reference point this season.

Betting Angle — Over/Under Markets

For Over/Under markets, teams with an average above 4.00 are statistically strong Over 2.5 candidates, while those below 3.40 are better suited to Under markets. Always compare home and away averages separately — home advantage can shift the line significantly.
