Corners and Cards Betting Tips for Wednesday's Premier League action (with 21/1 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 Premier League is fully back in the groove after its three-month layoff, and with a heavy top-flight fixture flow between now and the end of the 2019/20 campaign, supporters have tons of high-octane action to look forward to.
On Wednesday this week, four fascinating top tier duels are scheduled to be contested on what promises to be another white-knuckle evening of football from the world’s most exciting league – 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 we’ve compiled a four-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 Wednesday’s matches on our Premier League predictions page.
