Corners: Numbers and Possible Bets

NEC Nijmegen averages 4.6 corners per game, while Volendam averages 2.4. In their last five matches, NEC Nijmegen had 2 out of 5 games with over 9.5 total corners, and Volendam had 3 out of 5. For a total of 7.0 corners, both quotes are available: over 7.0 total corners is at 1.28, under 7.0 is at 3.30. This line choice closely matches the combined average figures of both teams.
