How to read the goal and corner predictions in the Overview?
The CornerPro Overview shows predictions and trends that help you understand how a match is expected to play out before it starts.
But do you know how to read these numbers correctly?
In this tutorial, we explain how to analyze the probabilities, the expected goals and corners, and the interval trends.
What are the Overview predictions?
The predictions are estimates calculated from statistical data and CornerPro's analysis models.
They let you identify trends related to the main goal and corner markets, helping you prepare your pre-match analysis.
It is important to understand that a prediction is an estimate, not a guarantee that a given event will happen.
How to read the probabilities?
In the Predictions and Trends section, you will find percentages linked to different markets.
For example:
- 70% Over 2.5 FT: estimated probability of at least 3 goals in the match.
- 85% Over 1.5 FT: estimated probability of at least 2 goals.
- 50% Both to Score: estimated probability of both teams scoring at least one goal.
These percentages help you see which scenarios the model considers most likely.
However, a high probability does not mean the outcome is guaranteed.
What do expected goals and corners mean?
The Overview also shows estimates of the total number of goals and corners in a match.
For example:
- 3 expected goals: the model estimates roughly 3 goals in total in the match.
- 9 expected corners: the model estimates roughly 9 corner kicks during the match.
These values help you understand the expected attacking potential of the match and put the goal and corner markets into context.
They should not be read as exact results, but as statistical references for your analysis.
When are more goals or corners likely?
Besides the general predictions, CornerPro shows trends related to specific periods of the match.
Goal peak
This metric identifies the interval with the most goals, based on the 10 previous matches used in the analysis.
For example, a peak shown as 76-FT means that the period between the 76th minute and the end of the match had the highest concentration of goals in that sample.
Interval trends
You can also check specific corner trends.
For example, the indicator 9/10 — Corner after 87′ means that in 9 of the 10 matches analyzed, there was at least one corner after the 87th minute.
This information lets you identify historical patterns that may be relevant for live analysis.
How to apply these predictions pre-live?
The predictions can help you pick matches to follow and prepare strategies before kick-off.
Imagine you find a match with:
- a 70% estimated probability of Over 2.5 FT;
- 3 expected goals;
- a goal peak between the 76th minute and the end.
These indicators may justify a more detailed analysis of the match, especially if you are studying goal markets.
You can add the match to your strategies and, during the game, follow the indicators for pressure, attacking rhythm and chances created.
The goal is to combine pre-match analysis with real-time data, checking whether the match is unfolding in line with the initial predictions.
Where to find these predictions?
On CornerPro, open a match analysis and go to the Overview tab.
In the Predictions and Trends section, you can check the estimated probabilities, the expected goals and corners, and the periods with the most historical activity.
Use this information as a starting point for a more complete analysis, combining different indicators before making decisions.
In the Overview, a match shows 70% for Over 2.5 FT and 3 expected goals. How should you use these numbers?
