The Brasileirão against the European leagues
The Brasileirão has 10.34 corners per match and ranks 15th out of 53 in Sniper's overall ranking. It sits above the average of all leagues (9.89). In Brazil, the home team takes 5.94 corners per match and the away team, 4.40.
One caveat: the European leagues started their season in August and still have few matches in the database, while the Brasileirão, MLS and Argentina are already in the final stretch. With few matches, the average can still change a lot.

Why the average changes so much from one league to another
Playing style weighs a lot. Leagues with more crosses, more play down the wings and a bigger gap in quality between teams usually have more corners. More balanced leagues, with more possession in midfield, tend to have fewer. The calendar matters too: in the final rounds, teams that need the result attack more.
What this changes in the analysis
The league average is the starting point to look at a match: the same team performs differently in a league with 10 corners per match and in one with 8. After that come each team's home and away averages and the latest matches, as in the step-by-step analysis.
Statistics show a trend, not a certainty. Corners vary a lot from one match to the next.
