Corner Totals Analysis

For corners, Newcastle averages 7 over 5 matches, PSV - 8.4. In a series of five games, Newcastle recorded 5 out of 5 for over 9.5 corners, PSV - 4 out of 5 for over 9.5. The combined average for corners is 15.4 per game. Among available totals, the closest to this sum is the 9.5 line, but there is no pair of odds for it, so the next suitable total is 12.5. However, there is no pair for 12.5, so the nearest option would be 13.5, if it existed, but it does not. Thus, a bet on over 9.5 corners is logical based on statistics, considering both teams' high averages. There is no clear winner for corners, as both teams regularly deliver many corners. In this match, an abundance of corners is expected, given both teams' attacking style and high stats in this component.
