Premier League

Burnley have the highest average of corners per game, not just in the Premier League but in all of Europe’s top five leagues. Sean Dyche’s well-known tactic of sitting back and waiting for a chance on the counter-attack often leads to the Clarets conceding plenty of corners during games, making them a good pick for this market. 

The Premier League also has the highest number of corners per game of all of Europe’s top five leagues with an average of 10.6.
