A stats-based corners bet stands out at 3/1 in the Swedish Allsvenskan on Monday night says Andy Schooler...

"What’s notable about the clash statistically is the fact that these two have won the fewest corners in the Swedish top flight."
Back both teams to have under 4.5 corners @ 4.0

Many of Europe's domestic leagues are now over but they play throughout the summer in Sweden where a corners bet appeals in the Allsvenskan on Monday evening.

Basement-dwellers Sundsvall host mid-table Mjallby and what's notable about the clash statistically is the fact that these two have won the fewest corners in the Swedish top flight.

Sundsvall average 2.8 per game, while the visitors' figure is even lower at 2.6.

As you'd imagine, both teams have higher numbers when it comes to conceding corners but significantly both average under 5 on this front.

That immediately makes the under 4.5 corners lines appeal.

Dig deeper and you find that only once in eight games this season have Sundsvall had five or more corners, while Mjallby have gone over the 4.5 line on only two occasions.

The visitors are favourites here, but not heavy ones - they are 6/5 to win the match - so the bookies aren't really expecting them to completely dominate.

With Sundsvall's corners-conceded figures at home being 2-3-6-2, a Bet Builder of both teams having under 4.5 corners looks good value at 3/1.

For something bigger, you could try adding Mjallby's David Lofquist to be carded.

He's collected three cards in eight games this season and has often been in trouble with referees in the past - he was carded nine times in 2019 and seven in 2020.

However, he's been in and out of the starting XI so far this season, so I'm happy to stick with the corners angle which looks to provide a touch of value in game you can watch on Betfair Live Video.
