Who Will Win?
The numbers say Coventry City have work to do at both ends of the pitch. They are yet to score a goal this season, dropping their most recent start 0–1 against Hull City at home after a 0–3 defeat on the road to Arsenal. Sitting 17th with zero points and four goals conceded, their attack needs a spark fast.
Meanwhile, Sunderland are coming off a win after securing a 1–0 result against Fulham last start, bouncing back from their 1–2 loss to Ipswich Town. On the win market, Sunderland sit as $2.35 head-to-head favourites, with Coventry City priced at $2.85 and the draw at $3.3. Given Coventry's goal drought, backing the away side to get the job done rates a real chance.
