For over 2.5 goals: Alaves has 3 out of 5, Sevilla - 2 out of 5. The odds for over 1.5 goals are 1.41, and for over 1.75 - 1.53. In the first half, over 1.5 goals occurred only once out of 5 for both teams, while in the second half, Alaves had 2 out of 5, and Sevilla had 4 out of 5.

Based on this data, it is logical to expect 9-11 corners in the match, which matches the average activity of both teams. Sevilla tends to take more corners, which might influence the total count. Overall, the match seems suitable for a bet on a corner total around 10.
