What the record shows

The clearest recorded pattern is: Each team's season corners average is above the competition baseline. A second useful context is: Lyon's shot volume and the opposing shot-allowance context sit above their competition baselines. Limitation: Recorded xG is incomplete, so xG context is omitted where unavailable.
