Bochum Over 4.5 Corners -150

Bochum have had a corner average of 7.00 in the past five home games, while Mainz have let the opposition average 6.30 corners in their previous ten away matches. The amount of Bochum corners could be bigger than the Team Corners line suggests and that leads us to a bet at odds of -150.
