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.

Chelsea vs. Bournemouth 30/12/2025. Result on fouls: 5-12.

Uganda vs. Nigeria 30/12/2025. Result on fouls: 6-14.

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.

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.).
