The read

Structural edge weak — corner averages are team-for totals; match totals typically include both sides' corners, but opponent data suggests ~10-11 per match is realistic. Kept at LOW due to noise in corner data.

• Bradford avg 6.9 corners per game last 10
• Plymouth avg 6.2 corners per game last 10
• Combined baseline ~13.1 corners, but opponent corners (Bradford 3.3, Plymouth 3.6) lower
• Both teams favour possession-forward approach (Bradford 56.6%)
