Strong pressure and Clear dominance: what’s the difference?

What is the difference between Strong pressure and Clear dominance?

Although both relate to one team’s dominance during the match, Strong pressure and Clear dominance represent different situations.

Strong pressure is more closely tied to the current moment of the match, while Clear dominance reflects a more consistent and prolonged dominance.

What is Strong pressure?

Strong pressure identifies moments when a team is applying intense pressure on its opponent during a specific period of the match.

On CornerPro, the match is highlighted when that peak of intensity and high tempo is detected.

This indicator helps you quickly see when a team is stepping up its attacking pressure at that moment.

What is Clear dominance?

Clear dominance aims to identify situations in which a team keeps a more consistent dominance over its opponent.

This indicator is triggered when a team maintains an average pressure index at least 10 points higher than its rival’s.

In other words, it does not look at just an isolated peak of pressure, but at a longer period of superiority over the course of the match.

In summary

The main difference lies in the period analysed:

Strong pressure

Reflects the current moment and an immediate intensity.

Clear dominance

Reflects prolonged control and a more consistent dominance of the match.

So a team can be in Strong pressure for a few minutes without necessarily showing Clear dominance over the course of the match.

Where can you check these indicators?

On the CornerPro Live page there are dedicated areas showing the matches where each one is happening:
