Total Goals:

In this season's competition 3 out of Man United's 5 Champion
League home games have gone Over 2.5 Goals. However 4 of Arsenal's
5 away games have gone Under 2.5 Goals.

If we look at both team's recent Knockout Stages record - the stats
support a low goals total.

home games in the Knockout Stages - with 5 of them going Under 2.5
Goals - (71%).

Arsenal have also played 7 away Champions League Knockout games in

  tonight.

Booking Points/ 4.5 Cards - there were 4 Yellow Cards (40 Booking

6 out of 7 Semi Final, 1st leg games have had 'Under 45 Booking
Points' and 'Under 4.5 Cards'.

Cards and Bookings bets...

Most bookies use these scoring systems for Cards and Booking Points
bets:

Cards (eg. Bet365)
Yellow Card = 1 Card, Red Card = 2 Cards. Most one player can get
in a game = 3 Cards.

Booking Points
Yellow Card = 10 pts, Red Card = 25 pts. Most one player can get in
a game = 35 pts.

Corners:

The bookies have set their 'Over / Under' market at 10.5 Corners
tonight. So far 3 of Man United's 5 home games have gone Under 10.5
Corners - and 2 out of Arsenal's 5 away games have been Under 10.5
Corners.

Last season 4 of United's 6 (66%) home games went Under 10.5
Corners and 4 of Arsenal's 5 (80%) away games went Under 10.5
Corners.

Not conclusive but we can expect tonight's game to be a tight
affair with neither team giving much away. Going 'Under' on the
corners probably represents the best value.
