Erling Haaland to Score -143

Corners Prediction

Man City Under 6.5 Corners -138

City have not covered the 6.5 corners line in four consecutive away games, with Brentford conceding under 6.5 corners in their past four matches. There’s a price of -138 for this Team Corners bet and we think the City line is too big.
