We go with the Santander League match between Villarreal and Athletic Bilbao at the Estadio de la Cerámica.

Villarreal

Both fighting to get a direct place in the Europa League and who knows if in the Champions League if Sevilla remains on the decline.

The yellows have recovered from the blow that suffered two days ago before the Éibar, and for now they are in the fifth position of the board to hunt Sevilla for that fourth place that gives way to the Champions, as well as Athletic who Has surpassed Real Sociedad (who was going to say it a few days ago) and is also in a position to attack Sevilla if he wins.

For all this I expect a moved party, where the draw does not serve any a priori, because I suppose both teams will be aiming to hunt Sevilla, and of course that has to be translated into corners in both areas.

The average corners in the total of Villarreal’s matches in the Ceramics Stadium are 9.33, and Athletic out of San Mamés 9.57, both very much in line with what we are after.

If we analyze the last 5 matches of Villarreal at home the average rises to 11.2, and we see that except in the match against Espanyol (team very under in corners) has largely exceeded the line,

28-01-2017 Villarreal 7 – 4 Granada
12-12-2017 Villarreal 9 – 9 Málaga
26-02-2017 Villarreal 5 – 5 Real Madrid
04/03/2017 Villarreal 1 – 1 Espanyol
04/01/2017 Villarreal 11 – 5 Eibar

Athletic Bilbao

And if you look at the last 5 of the Athletic out the thing has not gone bad either, with an average of 9.6 and with 3 of 5 above our target,

04-02-2017 Barcelona 7 – 3 Ath Bilbao
19-02-2017 Valencia 3 – 1 Ath Bilbao
02-03-2017 Sevilla 6 – 9 Ath Bilbao
12-03-2017 Real Sociedad 8 – 3 Ath Bilbao
01-04-2017 Osasuna 6 – 3 Ath Bilbao

In addition the Athletic has echo over 9.5 with the leading teams,

23-10-2016 Real Madrid 6 – 4 Ath Bilbao
04-02-2017 Barcelona 7 – 3 Ath Bilbao
02-03-2017 Sevilla 6 – 9 Ath Bilbao
12-03-2017 Real Sociedad 8 – 3 Ath Bilbao

Villarreal have not done it for the most part, but they have stayed on the edge in several matches with the top teams, and in that aspect surely improve against Athletic by the account that brings them,

28-08-2016 Villarreal 5 – 1 Sevilla
18/09/2016 Villarreal 3 – 6 Real Sociedad
12-12-2016 Villarreal 2 – 7 Ath Madrid
08-01-2017 Villarreal 2 – 4 Barcelona
