The teams with the highest number of headed goals this season in Europe’s top tiers in England, Spain, Germany, Italy, and France.
Betting on headed goals can be very profitable - and can be much easier to predict when using statistics.
This article ranks the teams with the highest number of headed goals this season in Europe’s top tiers in England, Spain, Germany, Italy, and France, so you know which teams to look for when making headed goals bets.
Premier League
Manchester City are not only nine points clear at the top of the Premier League, they have also scored more headed goals than any other team, with 10, despite Pep Guardiola’s sides not being particularly well known for this type of goal.
In a recent example, a fiver on Raheem Sterling to score a header against Norwich City would have returned £125 at 25/1.

A fiver on Luuk de Jong in Barcelona’s last game against Espanyol would have returned £150 at 30/1.
