Corners and Cards Betting Tips for Sunday’s Premier League action (with 15/1 Acca!)
Born in the south east of Ireland, Simon put his life-long love of football to good use when he started a successful independent blog in 2010. That opened up an alternative route to a career in journalism, and having had work published across a number of sites and publications, Simon joined the staff at Spotlight Sports Group in 2018.
The 2019/20 Premier League season reaches its climax on Sunday where the campaign’s final 10 fixtures will be contested on what promises to be a dramatic final day of top-flight football.
With plenty to play for at both ends of the table, a gripping finale is in store – and running alongside the more popular match result and goals markets for the games 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 below, we’ve compiled a five-fold accumulator based on our research that comes in at a tasty 15/1 for a selection of Sunday’s games.
Don’t forget – you can also find all of our match previews and betting tips for the division’s final round of matches on our Premier League predictions page.
