English football is back! After an achingly long postponement, the 2019/20 campaign is finally back in full swing – and this weekend there is a mix of high-octane Premier League and FA Cup quarter final fixtures to enjoy across Saturday and Sunday.
Running alongside the more popular match result and goals markets for the fixtures are the often overlooked but equally lucrative corners and cards options offered by the bookies.
Those particular markets require some extra elbow-grease and research to find trends worth backing – and that can sometimes be a little off-putting.
However, at FST we’ve done all the hard work to bring you the very best value in the corners and cards markets this week – and we’ve compiled a five-fold accumulator based on our research that comes in at a tasty 21/1
Don’t forget – You can also find all of our match previews and betting tips for the top flight action on our Premier League predictions page, while our FA Cup predictions section hosts all of our knockout football know-how.
