The teams played a more open style of football than expected. The hotline didn't work.

Central Coast Mariners vs. Brisbane Roar 31/12/2025. 1st half result: 1-1 (1st half Xg: 0.21-1.09). Brisbane Roar allowed just 0.21 Xg in the first half, but still conceded 1 goal. The hint was half-true.

Motherwell plays the least vertical football this season in Premiership (Scotland) (29.95 avg. total aerials). Motherwell vs. Celtic 30/12/2025. Corners result: 1-3. Motherwell's matches feature little aerial football, which means there aren't many crosses, so you can expect few corners. The hint definitely worked.

Nigeria made 41 fouls in 2 matches of Africa Cup of Nations (20.50 on avg.). Uganda vs. Nigeria 30/12/2025. Result on fouls: 6-14. Nigeria confidently beat the -1.5 handicap on fouls, but fell just short of the individual total. The hint was half-true.

Portsmouth conceded 8 goals from a corner this season in Championship (England) (0.36 on avg.). Portsmouth vs. Charlton Athletic 29/12/2025. Corners: 5-11. When a team concedes a lot from a corner, it's a reason for the opponent to take corners. It seems Charlton heeded our hint and delivered 11 corners, although they only managed to score one goal (possibly from a corner). The hint was certainly helpful.

Genoa lost on fouls in 6 out of 6 matches after the new coach appointment (-7.17 avg. diff.). Roma vs. Genoa 29/12/2025. Result on fouls: 13-13. Genoa did not lose on fouls, but the line was +1 on Roma, so the hotline worked.

Wellington Phoenix has the lowest opponent's total accurate passes this season in A-League (Australia) (242.67). Melbourne Victory vs. Wellington Phoenix 29/12/2025. Result on throw-ins: 17-17. A low opponent's pass completion rate means a team presses a lot making many duels, which inevitably leads to throw-ins. Surprisingly, Wellington Phoenix played differently in this match, allowing Melbourne Victory 414 accurate passes, meaning there were few throw-ins. The hotline didn't work.

Atalanta scored in the 2nd half in 8 out of 8 matches after the new coach appointment on 20/11/2025 (1.63 on avg.). Atalanta vs. Inter 28/12/2025. Second half result: 0-1 (second half Xg: 0.68-0.72).
