Prediction
Prediction: Corners — Groningen — PEC Zwolle
In five home matches, Groningen have averaged 6 corners and allowed their opponents 3,8, making the average total 9,8; the 8,5 line was exceeded in four of the five games. In five away matches, PEC Zwolle have averaged 3,8 corners, while their opponents have averaged 7,2, with the total exceeding 8,5 in three of five cases; in head-to-head meetings, this line has landed two times out of two. The model's prediction for over 8,5 corners received a score of 5/5, but the calculated probability is not provided, so this is a statistical assessment rather than a guarantee that the line will land.

Prediction
Prediction: Shots on target — Groningen — PEC Zwolle
In five home matches, the hosts have averaged 4,6 shots on target and allowed their opponents 5,8, resulting in an average total of 10,4; the 7,5 line was surpassed in four matches, although there is no ongoing run of successful outcomes: the totals were 9, 7, 12, 10 and 14. In the visitors' five away matches, the averages are 4,6 shots on target for the team and 7,6 for their opponents, with a total average of 12,2; the line landed in four cases, with no ongoing run either. The model selected over 7,5 with a score of 5/5; the calculated probability is not provided in the JSON. The recommendation is supported most strongly by the overall form and both relevant samples — the hosts' home record and the visitors' away record, where the line landed in 4 of 5 matches — but this does not guarantee the outcome.
