Corners Prediction

Porto Under 7.5 Corners -133 BetMGM logo

In their past six games, Porto have not covered the 7.5 corners line, while the previous eight Nacional away matches have involved them conceding under 7.5 corners. The number of Porto corners could be lower than the line suggests and that leads us to a bet at odds of -133.
