Corners Prediction

Under 10.5 Corners -147

There has been five straight Sydney home matches where the 10.5 Total Corners line has not been covered, while it has been an average of 9.00 corners in the previous ten Western Sydney games. We’re willing to wager the -147 when it comes to the sides being short of the Total Corners line which looks appealing.
