Corners Prediction

France Under 7.5 Corners -100

In their past four games, France have not covered the 7.5 corners line, with Azerbaijan conceding 5.00 corners on average in their previous 10 away matches. We advise betting on the -100 that France won’t cover the line, with this Team Corners pick hopefully providing a return.
