Finn Azaz to Score +260 BetMGM logo

Finn Azaz (Southampton) has netted five goals in his past five Championship games. We believe that there is merit in backing him for an Anytime Goalscorer prop wager at +260 which means we need to him to be on the scoresheet.

Corners Prediction

Norwich Over 4.5 Corners -110 BetMGM logo

The 4.5 corners line has been covered by Norwich in four straight home games, while the past three Southampton matches have seen over 4.5 corners conceded. We think this presents a convincing argument and we’ll bet on Norwich to cover the Team Corners line which is on offer at odds of -110.
