Bigger Teams Will Earn More Corners: It’s the nature of the beast really. Bigger teams will always earn more corners than the smaller ones. If a team is going to spend more time attacking than another, it makes sense that they are going to earn more corners.
Long Range Specialists: If a side has a player who enjoys a long shot, they will likely earn a few corners from deflections, blocks and parries away from goal. If that is part of their tactics, there will be a significant upturn in corners.
The Use Of Wingers: The use of wingers is one of the biggest contributors towards corners. If a side is continually trying to fire crosses into the box, a degree of these are going to be headed behind for a corner.
Context Of The Game: If you’re looking to bet on the team to earn the most corners, consider the context of the game. Who needs to win more? How does each team set up at home/away? Is it a first leg/second leg of a competition? All these can affect the number of corners a team earns.
Which Teams Generally Earn The Most Corners: Most of all just check the stats. Corner stats are readily available and you can comfortably see who earns and concedes the most in the Premier League and all over Europe.

Similar to above, this wager is limiting the number of corners predicted to one specific aspect. In this case how many you will think there will be in a certain half.Team To Win First Corner:
Another market that’s simple to understand, this wager is backing the team who will win a corner first, i.e. the first corner of the game.When To Take Advantage Of Corner Betting
