Corners in football are one of the most exciting parts of the game. It happens when the ball goes beyond the goal line, but not into the goal, after being touched by a defending player.
This gives the attacking team a chance to kick the ball from the corner of the field and potentially score a goal. Because corners often lead to dangerous scoring opportunities, the number of corners in a match can tell us a lot about how attacking or defensive a game is.
When a team wins a lot of corners, it usually means they are spending a lot of time in their opponent’s half, putting pressure on the defense. On the other hand, if a team is giving away a lot of corners, it might mean they are struggling to keep the opponent away from their goal.
Why Corners Matter in Betting
For those who enjoy betting on football, paying attention to how many corners a team usually wins or concedes can be very useful. Some teams are known for winning a lot of corners because of their attacking style, while others might give away fewer corners because of their strong defense.
Betting on the number of corners in a match is a popular option because it can add another layer of excitement to the game.

How to Use This Information
If you’re thinking about betting on corners, this table is a great resource. For example, a team like KR Reykjavik has a high average number of corners per game (13.74), with most of those being corners they win themselves (7.21). This suggests they are an attacking team that spends a lot of time in the opponent’s half. Betting on more corners when they play could be a smart move.
On the other hand, if you see a team like Fylkir, which has a lower average of corners they win (5.15) but concedes a lot (7.90), you might consider that they often find themselves under pressure from opponents. Betting on more corners for their opponent could be worth considering.
This ranking is updated regularly, so you can keep track of which teams are performing well in terms of corners.
