SlipsTips shares a selection ahead of St Mirren's clash with Celtic in the Scottish Premiership on Saturday evening.
St Mirren vs Celtic (Saturday, 17:30)
Celtic make the short trip to Paisley to take on St Mirren in the Scottish Premiership on Saturday evening.
Brendan Rodgers’ side suffered a rare domestic defeat last weekend when being edged out 2-1 by Hibernian, though they rebounded in style with a resounding 5-1 success against Aberdeen in midweek.
As for St Mirren, they defeated Rangers at Ibrox for the first time since 1991 last Saturday before being brought back down to earth in a 3-1 defeat at Hearts on Wednesday night.
With Celtic heavy odds-on favourites here, the best way to make the Bhoys pay could be via the team corner markets.
The Glasgow giants have been chalked up at 4/5 on Bet 365 to earn seven or more corners on Saturday evening and that looks worthy of support.
Celtic have long been the corner kings of the Scottish Premiership, and this season is proving to be no different.
In fact, Rodgers’ high-octane side are averaging an eye-watering 10.21 flag-kicks per 90 in the Scottish top flight this term.
A deeper dig shows that Celtic have covered the proposed 7+ corner line in 21 of their 28 Scottish Premiership assignments this season so far.
That 28-game sample includes each of the Hoops’ previous two Scottish top flight tussles with St Mirren this season, earning 10 corners at this venue back in August before hitting eight at home against the Saints in January.
That means Celtic have now earned seven or more corners in each of their last 12 Scottish Premiership meetings with St Mirren.
What's more, Stephen Robinson’s side had to defend 11 corners at Ibrox last Saturday, and his team should have even more defensive work to get through when the champions come to town this weekend.
With all that in mind, a minimum of seven Celtic corners on Saturday evening looks well within range at a value 4/5 on Bet 365.
