Surprising stats: Leverkusen has Europe's best points average.
Leverkusen has the highest points average per game in Europe's top 5 leagues.
Based on the number of points and matches played, Leverkusen has the highest points average (2.6 per game) among the teams in Europe's top 5 leagues. Xabi Alonso's squad continues to win, and it's becoming less surprising that they top the league, showcasing great stability both offensively and defensively. The Bundesliga is competitive this year, with any team capable of defeating another, making Leverkusen's performance even more impressive. It will be interesting to see how long they can stay ahead of Bayern Munich in the league.
Even more surprising is finding Girona at number 2 on the list with 2.58 points per game. Girona is winning everything they can get their hands on, playing with great confidence, and they are soon to be considered contenders in the championship race if they continue winning.
Most points per game in Europe’s top five leagues:
◉ Bayer Leverkusen (2.60)
◉ Girona (2.58)
◉ Inter Milan (2.56)
◉ Bayern Munich (2.50)
◉ Real Madrid (2.47)
Leverkusen faces Bochum at home on Wednesday in a crucial match that could secure them the top spot in 2023 before heading into a short Christmas break. Bayern Munich is currently 4 points behind but has one more game to play, and it's likely they will secure 3 points in that match.
