Top Pick: Divine Mukasa to Score +320 BetMGM logo

Corners Prediction

Leicester Under 5.5 Corners -115 BetMGM logo

Leicester have failed to cover the 5.5 corners line in four straight games, with Norwich conceding under 5.5 corners in the past five matches. There’s everything to like about the Leicester Team Corners line which looks too big and we’d expect them to go under at -115.
