Corners Prediction

Mainz Under 4.5 Corners -156

Mainz have failed to cover the 4.5 corners line in four consecutive away matches, with Hoffenheim conceding under 4.5 corners in their past five games. The Mainz Team Corners tally could be lower than the line implies and that leads us to a wager at odds of -156.
