However, the difference in value is very high and a match is expected at the total discretion of the hosts.
A week ago Shkendija had a 68% ball possession and a 12-2 corners ratio.
The number of corners could be even higher this time, considering that Shkendija will also have supporters support.
It is not excluded that Kalju will play courageously, trying to return the result from the tour, in case I ask for 2-3 corners in Estonian account.
In conclusion, the share offered for a total of over 9.5 corners is extremely generous.
