Total corners markets for the EFL Cup (Carabao Cup) game between Birmingham City FC and Brentford FC, scheduled for August 25, 2026 at 3:00 PM ET.
Birmingham City host Premier League side Brentford in the Carabao Cup second round at St. Andrew's on August 25, 2026, following the Blues' 1-0 first-round win over Swansea and pre-season success against Barcelona. As Championship frontrunners, Birmingham average roughly 6.2 corners for and 3.9 against in recent outings, while Brentford post around 11 total corners per game across friendlies and league play. Cup ties often feature set-piece emphasis and transitional play that boosts corner volume, with Birmingham's home possession and attacking transitions likely generating opportunities against Brentford's organized defense. Early-season form, squad rotation, and any late injury updates could shift expected corner counts, particularly if either side prioritizes cautious defending over open attacking.
