Episode 47 - How to Score a Corner

The Football Fanalytics Podcast

In-swinging? Out-swinging? Short?

In Episode 47, we look into different types of corner routines from an attacking and defending perspective. Is it more productive to go with man-marking or zonal marking? Should you put a player on each post when defending corners? Are in-swinging corners more lucrative than out-swinging corners when looking to score a goal?

We cover all the above, all backed up by the numbers! We also discuss some of our favourite goals from a corner, please do send yours in!
