Episode 73: It's all kicking off

We always want to be entertained at every football match we watch, but are there certain kick-off times where you get more value than others? In Episode 73, we looked at the way in which fixture scheduling can influence how many goals, penalties, and red cards you might see in the Premier League. Do Sunday afternoons offer more entertainment than Saturday lunchtimes? Are weekday kick-offs as exciting under the lights as we think? Stick around for some hard cold facts along the way — credit to those who know the highest scoring match of all time!
