Corner Totals Analysis

Grasshoppers average 2 corners per match, while Sion averages 4. Over the last five matches, Grasshoppers haven't had a single match with a total of over 9.5 corners, while Sion has had 1 out of 5. The line for corners offers a few totals: over 5.5 corners is at 1.15, under 5.5 is at 5.10, but these figures don't match the combined average corners for both teams (6). The closest total is 6.5, but there are no odds for both outcomes. Therefore, it's reasonable to expect the match won't be a record-breaker for corners, given the low average figures. Neither team is favored to win on corners, as the difference is negligible. Overall, a bet on a low corner total seems justified, considering recent match statistics.
