🏟️ Finding the Right Teams
Once inside a matchup, scroll down to SPSPick’s Team Corner Overview two tables which shows Corner Stats.
What to look for:
Teams with high 1H corners for 📈 At least 80%+ for over 2,5 corners and 90% for over 1,5 first half corners
Opponents with high 1H corners against ✅ Good match up for corners
Strong attacking teams at home
Avoid teams that score early and park the bus
A good example: A home team averaging 7+ corners per match, but still 0–1 corners at 25 minutes — this is an opportunity.
📊 Key Indicators Before Making a Move
| Metric | Ideal Value / Setup |
|---|---|
| Current Minute | 25–30 min mark ✅ |
| Current Corners | 0 or 1 ✅ |
| Odds for FH Corners 2+ | Around 2.00 ✅ |
| xG (Expected Goals) | Higher than actual goals scored ✅ |
| Ball Possession | 55%+ (indicates attacking dominance) ✅ |
| Game Status | Draw or favorite team still 0–0/down ✅ |
🧠 If a team is pressing but not scoring, they’re more likely to rack up late corners trying to break through.
🔁 Example Move
You’re watching Grindavík at home. They average 8.5 corners, often push hard before HT. It’s 27 minutes in, score 0-0, 0 corners. The Asian Corners (1H) line is now set at 1.875 for 1.5+.
👉 You decide it’s a good value-based move.
Outcomes:
2 FH corners → ↩️ Push if over 2 line taken earlier, full return if 3+
2 FH corners → ✅ Full return
1 or fewer → ❌ No return
Always keep track of when the injury happens — it means there will be added time! ⏰
🚨 Don’t Make a Move If…
An Early Goal Has Been Scored
🔁 Goals change the rhythm of games — especially early ones. If a favorite scores early, they might sit back and manage the match, drastically reducing corner potential. Unless you’re watching a team that always presses, skip these games.
🔁 You Don’t Know the Teams or League
If you’re unfamiliar with the playing styles, league dynamics, or current season form — avoid the match. Without context, even solid stats can mislead. Don’t make decisions on instinct — make them on intel.
🔁 Odds Don’t Reflect Value
Be patient. If odds for First-Half Corners 2+ are still low, wait until ~25–30 minutes. Rushing just because you want to make a move ruins discipline. Set your ideal value (usually ~2.00) and only act when it arrives.
🔁 It’s Early in the Season
Unless you follow a team closely, avoid early-season games. Patterns aren’t stable, lineups rotate more, and risk is higher. The same goes for friendlies — skip them.
✅ If the team is already winning at 30’, skip the decision
✅ If the opponent is low-block, anti-press, time-wasting
✅ If the field or weather conditions reduce tempo dramatically
Use SPSPick to spot all of these — from pressure stats to weather.
🧠 System Summary
| Filter | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Match Minute | 25–30 min |

| Odds | ~2.00 (First-Half Corners Asian 2.0) or better |
| Team Setup | Strong at home, attacking momentum |
| Game Status | 0-0 or losing (not leading!) |
Discipline matters. Don’t force moves. This strategy works best when you act based on facts, not fear of missing out.
