Our prediction is: under 9.5 corners

After analysing the odds in the different markets, our best betting tip for this match is on the corners market and taking the total to go under 9.5 corners.

We anticipate FC Avan Academy vs CS U Craiova to be quite a controlled match with the main action concentrated in the middle of the pitch. That should limit the number of opportunities for corners, and so the odds of 1.7 for 9 corners or fewer looks quite attractive.
