When Is Under 7.5 Corners a Good Bet?

You can consider this market when:

Teams play slow and tactical football

Example: teams like Atletico Madrid, Inter Milan, West Ham (when defending deep).

Midfield-heavy teams

Teams that attack through the middle create fewer crosses → fewer corners.

One team is very dominant

The weaker team rarely gets to attack → fewer corners overall.

Weather conditions reduce attacking flow

Heavy rain, wind, or slippery pitches reduce corner opportunities.

Both teams defend deep

A deep block often forces opponents to take long shots, not crosses.


When to Avoid Under 7.5 Corners

Avoid this bet when:

Both teams attack with many crosses

Example: Liverpool, Tottenham, Brighton, some Bundesliga teams.

High-tempo games

Games that produce lots of chances → more corners.

Teams with fast wingers**

Such as:

  • Mbappé
  • Saka
  • Luis Díaz
  • Leroy Sané

These players force many blocks → more corners.


Examples of Matches Likely to Go Under 7.5 Corners

  • Atletico Madrid vs Getafe
  • West Ham vs Crystal Palace
  • Juventus vs Torino
  • Fulham vs Wolves

These fixtures often stay between 4–7 corners.


Examples of Matches Likely to Go Over (So avoid under 7.5)

  • Liverpool vs Brighton
  • Man City vs Leeds
  • Bayern vs Dortmund

These games usually produce 9+ corners.


Betting Tips for Under 7.5 Corners

Check the teams’ average corners per match

Prefer teams with a combined average of 6–8 total corners.

Look at the match style

If both teams attack the wings → do NOT play Under 7.5.

In-play tip

If after 15 minutes there are 0–1 corners, it becomes a good live bet.

Avoid derby matches

Derbies are usually too intense and fast → more corners.

Look out for early red cards

If a team goes a man down early, they may defend deep → This can help the Under.


Quick Summary

  • Under 7.5 corners = 7 or fewer corners needed to win
  • Market includes corners from both teams
  • Good for matches with slow tempo and little wing play
  • Avoid fast, attacking teams with many crosses
