Welcome to your Weekend Stats Review email.
Every Monday we take a look at the latest stats and results – catching up on the performance of our picks, and drawing attention to particularly eye-catching teams, players or trends.
All about the Corners...
The Corners stats have been a profitable area for us so far this season.
Specifically the Most Corners and Corner Handicap markets, where we’re using the stats to back a team to win/ dominate (with a ‘minus’ Handicap) the corner count in a match...
The most recent example of this came on Saturday, with the headline match from our Friday Picks & Analysis email providing the one payout from our two weekend selections.
Southampton won the Most Corners v West Brom, 8-3 – in the process covering the -1 Corner Handicap.
- The Saints have now landed -1 Corner Handicap bets in 5 out of 6 Premier League games at St Mary’s this season (83% Home record)
- Our Possession analysis helped point the way with that Corner Handicap pick, and the game panned out with the Possession stats almost bang-on with each team’s season averages on our site: Southampton had 66%, West Brom 34%. Final score: Southampton 1 West Brom 0
That was our 9th Most Corners or Corner Handicap winner of the season, from a total of 12 selections in those markets. Taken on their own, those picks have provided a 60.58% ROI to level stakes.
For the season overall, across all picks, we’re hovering just above break even.
Until the weekend, we’d had three out of three winning picks in the Both Teams to Score market. That figure took a knock with Saturday’s Doncaster 0 Walsall 3 result in League One. Our Both Teams to Score selections are showing a 32% ROI so far this season.
Top trends on our site today...
With the weekend results up-to-date, here are some more of the top stats trends showing on our site today...
Premier League:
- Chelsea 4 Watford 2 – Watford are one of four teams (along with Chelsea) ranked joint-top for Over 2.5 Goals (67%) in the Premier League. Watford’s last 5 games have all seen at least 3 goals scored
- West Ham 0 Brighton 3 – there was just the one Yellow Card in this game (10 Booking Points). Bets on Under 3.5 Cards or Under 35.5 Booking Points have now paid out in 8 of Brighton’s 9 games (89%) – the best record in the Premier League
Championship:
- Aston Villa 2 Fulham 1 – Fulham are in joint-1st place in the Championship for Both Teams to Score (77%). This was their 8th successive game to feature goals at both ends
League One:
- MK Dons 4 Oldham 4 – a real goal-fest here, and Both Teams to Score bets have now paid out in all 8 of Oldham’s Away games in League One (100%)
League Two:
- Coventry 0 Colchester 0 – Coventry won the Most Corners in this one, 9-2. The Sky Blues are joint-top of the division in that market, with 12 payouts from 15 games (80%)
Scottish Premiership:
- Ross County 2 Hamilton 1 – yet another Over 2.5 Goals game for Hamilton. That’s 9 league games in a row now, for a 90% overall record (9 out of 10)

Scottish stats in the Spotlight tomorrow...
There’s some decent football on TV in the week with the EFL Cup (League Cup) on Sky Sports – Swansea v Man Utd on Tuesday night and Tottenham v West Ham on Wednesday.
BT Sport have got the Scottish Premiership and that will be our midweek focus...
There are six games across Tuesday and Wednesday, including Hibernian v Hearts and Aberdeen v Celtic on TV.
I’ll be sending you this week’s Spotlight email tomorrow (Tuesday), with a special focus on the Scottish Premiership stats and trends – including any advice on those midweek games, with the markets and prices to hand.
After that it will be business as usual on Friday with your Weekend Picks & Analysis email, taking in the best of the stats opportunities, across the leagues.
See you tomorrow,
Best wishes,
