The Most Corners result has been a Draw or settled by just a one-corner margin in 3 of Tottenham’s last 4 Champions League games. And in 5 of Liverpool’s last 8 in Europe.
The season averages point to a close corners score, too:
- In the Premier League this season, Liverpool averaged 6.6 corners per game. Tottenham averaged 5.1

The Most Corners (or Corners Match Bet) markets have Liverpool as the 1/2 (1.50) favourites, Tottenham as 5/2 (3.50) underdogs – and the Draw at a top price 8/1 (9.00).
For an off-the-beaten track bet at a nice price – with some intriguing stats behind it – the Corners Draw could give you a good run for your money on Saturday night…
Most Corners – Draw is 8/1 with William Hill, Skybet, 7/1 Bet365, 888 Sport, Unibet.
