How Sniper calculates
The numbers come from our own database, which records every corner, minute by minute, in the 55 leagues the app follows. The average of each league and each team considers the season's matches in the database; on this page, the overall average weights each league by its number of matches.
An average alone can mislead: a team can have a high average because of one or two outlier matches. That is why the app also measures each team's regularity and splits home and away matches.
Statistics show a trend, not a certainty. Corners vary a lot from one match to the next.
