6) Scottish Premiership – 9.6 Chances Per Match
Scotland’s top division does compare unfavourably with the best leagues in Europe when it comes to the excitement factor. Some of that can be attributed to how long the ball spends out of play.
The average Premiership match has 55 minutes and 38 seconds of action, which is the best part of six minutes less than the German Bundesliga. Referees should probably be tasked with encouraging teams to play quicker from kickoffs, goal kicks and set pieces.
