Capital Corners

Right, bugger to 2026. The bankers haven't precisely been true to their namesake over the course of the year thus far, have they? Well, we'll go all in - by which I mean me staking the daily banker on the club I support, Nottingham Forest (for my sins). We're after a simple corner line here, a perfect supplement to a standalone tenner or as part of a wider bet builder (like this tasty effort for Newcastle vs Leeds tomorrow night).

Despite The Hammers running out as easy winners when these two last locked horns, it wasn't a total whitewash outside of the goals from West Ham (then led by Graham Potter, now by the man they defeated that day. Football). Forest had their share of chances at The City Ground that day and managed to get nine corners, with West Ham bringing in seven of their own to clear this market with absolute ease.

In the Premier League, only one other side have conceded more corners than West Ham, which displays a bit about their leakiness in the defensive line. Wolves, for instance, have earned themselves less corners than every other team in the league, but accumulated six against Nuno Santo and his men.

For Sean Dyche, corners may be something to lean on. After all, they have earned the 6th-most in the Premier League this season and take an average of 5.4 per match. On the flip side, West Ham average 5.9 corners per match purely in home games, so they will pose enough of a threat there to bring the tally up for a winner.
