Corners Prediction

Under 10.5 Corners -133 BetMGM logo

There has been six straight Ipswich matches where the 10.5 Total Corners line has not been covered, while it has been an average of 9.90 corners in the previous ten United away games. We recommend backing the -133 that the teams aren’t able to cover the line, with this Total Corners bet hopefully providing a return.
