Champions League: Bayern Munich vs Royale Union SG 21/01/26

Betting on Corners

Tonight at the Allianz Arena, Bayern Munich host Union Saint-Gilloise in the Champions League, and my recommendation is to bet on more corners in the second half than in the first, with odds above 2.00, this market offers excellent value.

At home, Bayern average 9.92 corners per match, but the opening 45 minutes are usually more controlled, producing only 4.46 total corners on average. In fact, under 4.5 corners in the first half lands in 67% of their home games, as the Germans often remain patient early on, waiting for the opponent to open up and make mistakes. Union arrive with a fragile defense (15 goals conceded in the Champions League, 6 points collected), and in away matches their total corners average 8.95. After the break, fatigue becomes a factor, leaving more space for Bayern’s sustained pressure through Kane and Olise, which lifts the second-half average to 4.75 corners, with over 4.5 landing in 67% of cases.

In Bayern’s last five home matches, the second half has produced 2.33 corners won plus 2.42 conceded, compared to a lower 2.71 won and 1.75 conceded in the first half. This pattern is consistent: opponents gradually drop deeper, while Bayern increase the tempo and attacking intensity. Bookmakers often underestimate this dynamic, which is why odds of 2.00+ provide a genuine edge. A solid tip,play it with confidence.
