How Team to Have the Most Corners 3-Way Works

Pick which team will have more corner kicks during the entire match, or if the corner count will be equal. The options are: "Home" = home team has more corners, "Tie/Draw" = equal corners, "Away" = away team has more corners. A corner kick is awarded when the ball goes out of bounds near the goal, last touched by the defending team, and is then kicked back into play from the corner of the field.
