Stats Picks…
It’s Match-day Three in the Champions League. There’s also a full midweek programme in the English Football League.
With over 50 games to look at over the next two evenings, we’re taking it one day at a time. Here’s my pick of the stats for tonight…
CHAMPIONS LEAGUE
Our Historical Champions League Stats show that Bayern Munich and Man City are two of the most consistent performers for Most Corners bets. With such dominant figures, those stats carry through to the Corner Handicap markets, where the very top teams are often a good bet to beat the ‘minus’ handicaps that they’re given by the bookmakers…
Man City v Atalanta
Man City have a 71% home Champions League record for Most Corners, achieved over more than 30 European fixtures at the Etihad Stadium. This season they’ve bossed the corners score 11-1 v Dinamo Zagreb, and 0-6 away at Shakhtar Donetsk.
In the Premier League, City have comfortably beaten a -4 Corner Handicap in 3 out of 4 home games, with tallies of 8-1, 8-1 and 13-2.
Atalanta have been out-cornered in both Champions League game so far, and in each of their last 5 away in all competitions.
Olympiakos v Bayern Munich
Bayern have a high 72% record for Most Corners stretching back over 40 away trips in the Champions League. Bets on Bayern -3 Corner Handicap have paid out in 5 of their last 6 games in the German Bundesliga.
Olympiakos have been out-cornered in both Group games so far.
FOOTBALL LEAGUE
The Match Result stats gets our attention today, with a handful of teams posting strong winning form in the Football League…
QPR v Reading
This is 5th v 20th in the Championship table. QPR have won 2 in a row, scoring 7 goals in the process. The R’s have won 6 of their last 8 overall – and 3 of their last 4 at Loftus Road. Reading have lost 5 of their last 7, and only found the net once in their last 3 road trips.
West Brom v Barnsley
This is top v bottom in the Championship. West Brom have won 4 of their last 5, and are unbeaten at home. Barnsley are without a win since the opening day – 11 games – and have lost 4 of their last 6.
Bristol Rovers v Bolton
This is 7th v bottom in League One. Bristol Rovers have won 3 of their last 4, and are unbeaten at home. Struggling Bolton are without a win in 14 games in all comps this season, and have lost 5 out of 5 away in the league.
Rochdale v MK Dons
Rochdale are 14th in League One and have won back-to-back matches against teams below them in the table, 3-1 at Bolton on Saturday and 2-1 v Accrington before that. MK Dons have lost 5 of their last 6, and failed to score in each of their last 3 games.
Bradford v Port Vale
The Top 10 Table on our website shows that Bradford are one of the form teams in Europe right now, with 3 wins in a row and 4 out of 5 in League Two. This game is 3rd v 16th. Vale have managed just one victory from their last 6. Bradford have won their last 4 at home.
