Nice with some corners huh?

Nice and St Étienne come into tonight's match off the back of a 0-0 draw in the first leg of this Ligue 1 relegation/promotion playoff that also saw a 6-6 corner scoreline.

For their part, St Étienne are averaging 10.8 corners in their games (last 40) with all five of their last games featuring nine or more corners.

Nice are averaging a modest 9 corners in their matches but six of their last seven have featured eleven or more corners with the following corner totals in their last five matches: 12, 16, 14, 11, 15.

Looking back, corners have been increasing rapidly in these two teams' fixtures and when the 90 minute mark approaches in this do or die relegation battle tonight I expect we'll see that trend continue, over 9.5 corners is a Nice bet at 1.83 odds on Bet365.
