Methodology

Match analysis

Under 12.5 corners is Superior's bet when Ipswich visit Manchester City, and City's own last five games make the case: none of them went past 12 corners, not even the 5-3 win over Sunderland or the 4-2 home defeat by Paris Saint Germain on Wednesday.

Eight goals against Sunderland and still 12 corners or fewer

City have played two wide-open games at home in the last month, beating Sunderland 5-3 on 20 September and losing 4-2 to Paris Saint Germain on 14 October, and neither one reached 13 corners. The quieter results around them, a 3-0 win at Liverpool, a 1-0 at Manchester United and a 5-0 over Norwich, stayed under the line as well.

Ipswich have lost to Arsenal and Liverpool at home

Ipswich come in from a 2-1 home win over Fulham on 10 October, and they won 3-2 at Crystal Palace in September, so they can score. Their record against the top sides is thinner: Arsenal beat them 4-2 and Liverpool 2-0, both at home, and they lost 1-0 at Everton. Superior forecasts a 2-0 City win and puts the whole match at nine corners. Saturday is City's third game in seven days.
