Line Bet: Can Coventry Cover The Handicap?
The line market is set at 4 goals, with Manchester City giving up -4 at 7.25 and Coventry City getting a +4 start at 1.27. Market tracking shows movement for both sides, with Manchester City firming in from 7.5→7.25 (firmed) and Coventry City adjusting 1.25→1.27 (drifted).
