Stats Picks…

The German goals stats teased us again at the weekend. On Saturday, our first 3 featured games all went to form with Over 2.5 Goals. But on Sunday evening, Werder Bremen 0 Paderborn 1 meant we missed out on the 3/1 acca.

Last week we went 5 out of 5 with our midweek picks in the Premier League. Today we’re having our first Stats Picks for this week’s action…

It’s Match-day Six in the Champions League – the final round of Group games, with qualification up for grabs. And there’s also a full midweek programme in the Championship.

The games are split 50-50 between tonight and Wednesday, with 16 Champions League ties and 12 Championship games in total.

Here are today’s Stats Picks…

CORNERS

Chelsea v Lille – Over 9.5 Corners

Champions League
8pm – BT Sport

The standard Total Corner Under/ Over line in the Premier League is 10.5 Corners, but the bookies tend to set it a little lower in Europe. Over 9.5 Corners (or Over 9 Corners) is available tonight.

So far, Chelsea are 5 out of 5 for that bet in the Champions League. The Blues have registered match totals of 13, 10, 15, 12 (at Lille) and 12.

In the Premier League, 4 of Chelsea’s last 6 at Stamford Bridge have seen 10+ Total Corners.
