Welcome to your Midweek Picks & Analysis email.
Every week I research the stats & fixtures, across the leagues. With the aim of identifying games with top-rated stats match-ups, bet opportunities and the best prices available with the bookies.
This week’s football...
It’s a busy week for the topflight. There’s a full set of midweek Premier League games across tonight & Wednesday evening. Followed by another full round of fixtures at the weekend.
Things are a bit quieter in the Football League with a couple of games tonight in the Championship and in League One. Then at the weekend League One & League Two are preoccupied with the FA Cup 2nd Round, but we’ll still have a full Championship schedule.
In the Scottish Premiership there are a couple of midweek games including a ‘quirk of the fixture computer’ with a rematch of Sunday’s League Cup final between Motherwell and Celtic – followed by a full set of games at the weekend.

The Premier League is our focus today...
United on the Corners...
Watford v Man Utd
Premier League, Tue 8pm – BT Sport
- Man Utd -2 Corner Handicap bets have paid out in their last 5 games
We’ve had two out of two successful ‘corner winning’ bets on Man Utd so far this season, and this live-on-TV game looks a good opportunity for another...
United are joint-top of our Premier League standings for Most Corners bets, with 11 payouts from 13 games (85%).
Watford on the other hand are joint-2nd bottom with just 3 Most Corners wins from 13 games (23%):
Watford were joint-2nd bottom of that table last season, too.
In recent week’s Man Utd have been particularly strong on the Corners front, landing -2 Corner Handicap bets (winning 3+ corners more than opponents) in 5 consecutive Premier League games.
Watford’s corners record against the Top Six clubs isn’t good, with ‘big name’ opponents winning the Most Corners in 7 of their last 9 visits to Vicarage Road...
Most recently, both Arsenal (2-5) and Man City (3-11) have gone there and won enough corners to cover the -2 Corner Handicap.
Watford are averaging 3.7 Corners For per Home game this season. Man Utd are averaging 6.2 Corners For per Away game.
The stats point to Man Utd on the -2 Corner Handicap this evening and the odds-against prices look good, too...
Man Utd -2 Corner Handicap is a best price 7/5 (2.40) with 888 Sport, Unibet, 11/8 (2.38) with BetVictor, 13/10 (2.30) William Hill, 123/100 (2.23) Marathonbet (-2.5 Corner Handicap), 6/5 (2.20) Paddy Power, Betfair Sportbook, 11/10 (2.10) Skybet. |
- Note: to find this bet at 888 Sport and Unibet you need to go to the ‘Corners 3-Way Handicap’ market for the game, and select ‘Starts 2-0 – Man Utd’
More Premier League games tomorrow...
I’ll be back with more Midweek Picks & Analysis for you tomorrow.
There are 6 more Premier League games on Wednesday night, and I’ll be looking into those once the bookies have priced up the full range of stats markets.
Enjoy the football...
Best wishes,
