30-second read

What the record shows

The clearest recorded pattern is: Feyenoord's shot volume and the opposing shot-allowance context sit above their competition baselines. A second useful context is: Heracles Almelo's last-five goals scored average is below their season average. Limitation: Recent samples and important metric coverage meet the strong evidence threshold.
