Under 9.5 Corners -132

All of the past seven NAC Breda games have seen the 9.5 Total Corners line not covered, with the same thing happening in the last five  AZ Alkmaar matches. We’re willing to wager the -132 when it comes to the sides being short of the Total Corners line which looks appealing.
