Corner betting strategy: finding the best matches and teams for corner markets

Why a corner kick?

It's simple. Corners are very valuable markets. For those who bet using a corner betting system, discipline and the right match research tools, corners can pay huge dividends.

If you are new to corner betting, you may think that corners are only在It's only valuable when it leads to a goal. This is a false assumption, but don't worry, this guide aims to teach you the value of corner bets and how to use the statsperforms cornerback model continues to find high value for upcoming games.

Corner betting has become a very popular market in recent years for several reasons. Firstly, bookies have added more corner betting markets. More markets mean more ways to win, and as bookies expand their reach globally, it gives bettors the opportunity to find a profitable niche and focus their efforts on that niche with a view to unlocking value, whether it's in every league or every market. Corner kicks are no exception.

Corners are usually easier to predict than other markets but require detailed research. When betting on less dynamic markets such as full results (1/X/2) you may look at a team's recent performance and decide if they are worth the odds given by the bookies, but when betting on corners we have to take more factors into account.

Data, Strategies and Trends

As mentioned earlier, we need to dig deep to consistently profit from corners. You should never bet blindly or even based on a single statistic. Always dig deeper. If statistics are available, use them.

Without the ball, a team can't get a corner kick. So first, let's look at each team's possession rate. Using Manchester City as an example, you'll see that they average 63% of possession per game, and 65% when playing at home.Before placing your bets, remember to check the statistics for both home and away matches. Some teams are terrible at home and terrible on the road.

Manchester City average 8.26 corners per game at home in the Premier League, with a total average of 10.68 corners per game. The vast majority of corners come from the home team. This supports the idea that the more possession you have the more corners you get, but you can always dig deeper. We can test this hypothesis by looking at teams that average less possession (such as Burnley). Over the course of the 2019/2020 Premier League season, they averaged 43% of possession and 4.39 corners per game. The less possession, the fewer corners.

Such statistics can be found on any team page and are useful when betting on the following markets:

• Corner kick winners
• Alternative Corner
• Asia Corner
• Team Corner

Markets offered

Bookies continue to add as many markets as possible for corners, but most bettors lack the discipline to capitalize on them. More markets mean greater price volatility and more opportunities for value to emerge. Unlike the less dynamic markets they offer, bookies have a harder time controlling the value offered by corners. You may think the bookies are being counter-intuitive, but as mentioned earlier, most bettors still act impulsively when faced with more markets.

Total corners

This market allows you to bet on the number of corners with less margin for error. For example, you can bet on the number of corners in a match to be between 12-14. If the number of corners is 12, 13 or 14, you win.

Alternative Corner

If you have ever bet on goals before then this market will feel familiar to you. You can bet on the number of corners over or under a certain amount. Unlike previous markets, if the number of corners is higher than our predicted number, we will still win.

Corner kick in the first half

As you might expect, you are betting on the total number of corner kicks taken by both teams in the first half. Think of teams that score in the first half, or teams that start the game with full intent, especially when playing at home.

Corner betting

Similar to betting on the outcome of a match, in this market you can bet on which team you think will have the most corners. You can also bet on the draw, which is usually much higher than most corner markets.

conceding a point for a corner kick

Handicap betting is based on previous markets where only teams start with negative corners. The higher the handicap, the fewer corners they start with. The bookies usually start at -1, which means that the team you pick will start the game with -1 corners. In order for your bet to win, they would have to end the game with 2 or more corners than their opponent.

First corner time

Bookmakers have recently introduced “Special Bets”, which allow punters to predict what will happen in the first ten minutes of the match. This section includes the ability to predict the time of the first corner kick. There are several options: before or after. The bookmaker will determine the time, but the most popular option (depending on the match) is 7 minutes.

First 10-minute corner kick

Similar to the previous market, but with lower odds due to the fixed timeframe. I would recommend avoiding this and seeing how the race starts. You can tell a lot from the first few minutes of the game. During this time, the odds on this market will increase.

Curve Racing

This market allows you to predict who will be the first to reach a certain number of corners in a match. Who will win the “match”. There are many options in this market, so you can place a bet suggesting that Manchester City will win the match by 3, 5 or 7 corners.

Corner kicks in the first/last game

Who will get the first or last corner of the game? To be honest, I think these markets exist to entice gamblers. The latter predominates. Statistics show that the first corner kick is usually awarded to the home team if certain criteria are met. Now, while the number of corners per game is predictable to some extent, it is difficult to predict who will get the last corner of the game. Betting on goals is similar. We can make an educated guess on the number of goals scored in a match, but betting on whether that number will be odd or even is a complete waste of money.

Corner Roller Betting

All of the above markets are subject to significant volatility. Depending on the league or team, bookies will offer limited value in these markets. For most major league games, you will be able to bet on almost any number of corners in the game. However, for lower leagues, you may see a limited list or a single value.

More markets will appear once the games start and this is where many bettors make their money. They study the teams and how they grow into the game. You can use the tool below to find statistics that will help you bet on the corner markets we have mentioned in this article.

We also offer a more detailed corner betting system designed for long term profitability. It requires discipline, research and patience.

We want to make it as easy as possible for you to find high-value races, and with The Corner, there are many ways to find races that may be of interest to you.

Let's start with the main match information. This information can be modified to show various options including Average Corners, +8.5 Corners, +9.5 Corners and +10.5 Corners. The first option will display the average number of corners for both teams. Below is an example:

The average number of corners in a match between Sandefjord and FK Bodo-Glimt is 11.83. Inspection of this H2H match reveals that this figure comes from an average of 4.31 corners per game for the hosts, compared to 6.69 for Bodo-Glimt. This statistic, along with the +XX Corners Percentage, is useful for betting on Corners per game.

Match Search

While the statsperform home page is great for an overview of the day's events, you can use Match Search to expand your search. If you're using this tool for the first time, check out our previous post on using Match Search to find high-value events.

The match search allows you to filter matches for specific statistics. These are a combination of both teams' statistics and are perfect for betting on goals, corners, red and yellow cards and more. Using this tool, you can sort and filter matches for the following corner options:

• Average number of corners
• +8.5 Corner kicks
• +9.5 Corner kicks
• +10.5 Corner kicks

There is no limit to the number of filters that can be set at once, so you can imagine how powerful the search based on PPG, AVG Corners and match counts can be. In addition, the match search also supports filtering by current odds.

Corner kick statistics page

We have a whole page dedicated to corner kick statistics. Here you can easily read the list of teams that have consistently high corner kick counts during a match. You can toggle between showing the number of corners and the number of corners.

This page also displays detailed statistics for hundreds of leagues and matches around the world, such as the top ranked leagues and matches in terms of corners taken in the first or second half of matches. This page is a great starting point when betting on corners.

Corner kick tips/predictions

If you're looking for inspiration, you can check out all the predictions made by statsperform's corner kick model. We have also created a corner predictions page where we automatically generate a list of predictions based on our stats.

Team Search

While most bettors place bets based on the schedule, sometimes it's best to know and focus on individual teams and leagues. You can find teams using the Team Search, a powerful tool that filters through thousands of teams. If this is your first time using this tool, you can check out our previous article on finding the best teams to bet on.

While match searches are match-based and use combined and average statistics, team searches target individual teams and their current season statistics. For example, let's find a team that consistently gets a lot of corner kicks during home games.

First, we turn to“Management”tab and select the corner stats to filter, in this example we will select the“+5.5 Corner kick percentage”We set this option to 70% or higher. We set this option to 70% or higher. This means we are looking for teams that get 5.5+ corners per game in 70% or more.

We can also adjust the number of games played. After searching, you will see a list of teams that consistently get corners. The team search will also show their recent status and next match by default. You can easily save these teams to your team search by clicking on the pin icon.
