How we read these numbers
CornerPro data from 04/11/2026, finished games only and no friendlies. Table, fixtures and suspensions: ESPN, 04/11/2026; injuries: FotMob, 04/11/2026, which can change when the squads are named. "Last 10" means the last 10 games in all competitions. "Home" and "away" mean this season's games (since 01/07/2026) at home or away, also in all competitions. "This Champions League" means the 3 league-phase games. The "average of the two sides" adds the average corners in the home side's home games to the average in the away side's away games and divides by two: it is a reference, not a prediction. The league phase has 63 finished games so far, with 9.32 corners, 3.92 goals and 3.49 yellow cards per game. The samples are small (3 to 10 games), so the number of games is always shown next to each figure. The positions already include Tuesday's games. If you use these numbers to bet, decide beforehand how much you can afford to lose and never chase losses. Betting is for over-18s only.
