Command Analysis
Sunderland
EnglandCurrent form
Before the start of the season, Sunderland was considered one of the obvious contenders for a direct ticket to the Premier League - the selection of players obliged the black cats to set themselves such tasks, especially since they managed to strengthen in the winter. However, in the second round, Regis Le Brice's team made a lot of mistakes and dropped out of the fight for the second place ahead of schedule, but they guaranteed themselves a place in the playoffs. In the first match against Coventry, the Black Cats looked very powerful and deservedly won 2-1, but this result still needs to be maintained today.
Disqualifications and injuries
Abdullahi, Dunns and Poveda are injured.
Interesting betting trends
- Sunderland have lost their last three home matches.
- In the last six matches, Sunderland have conceded
Approximate composition: Patterson – Sirkin, O'nien, Ballard, Hume –Le Feu, Bellingham, Neal, Roberts –Isidore, Mayenda.
Coventry City
EnglandCurrent form
Before the start of the season, Coventry was not among the obvious contenders for a playoff berth and mainly relied on maintaining its registration in the Championship. The Sky Blues looked very weak in the first half of the season, but the situation changed with the arrival of Frank Lampard. In the second round, we managed to significantly improve and snatch a place in the playoffs in the last round. However, Coventry were frankly disappointing in the first match against Sunderland, but a minimal defeat still leaves a chance of success.
Disqualifications and injuries
Dovin and Thorpe are injured.
Interesting betting trends
- Coventry have lost three of their last four matches.
- Coventry have scored in nine of their last 10 matches.
Approximate line–up: Wilson–Van Ewijk, Thomas, Kitching, Dasilva-Grimes, Schiff, Sakamoto, Rudoni, Thomas-Asante –Wright.

2.25Tip and bets
Coventry lost to Sunderland in the home match, quite unexpectedly, given the powerful game at home and the small crisis that the black cats got into at the finish line. Obviously, today the Sky Blues will be full of desire to win back, in general they are in good shape and are certainly able to prove themselves at the opponent's goal. Sunderland are not perfect defensively, but at the same time they demonstrated in the first meeting that they are capable of a lot and have no problems with implementation – the exchange of goals will certainly take place today.
We believe that there will be goals in the match. The betting tip is that both will score. This bet is offered with a coefficient of 1.75
Betting on the outcome
Coventry need to fight back today, and the visitors will obviously play even more aggressively up front than in the first meeting. However, there will be a fear of missing first, and it will be almost impossible to win back two goals behind at the Stadium of Light. Sunderland, in turn, is also unlikely to rush forward without looking back, the cost of a mistake is very high and can put an end to the efforts of the entire season. The probability of a draw in such a scenario is very high, it makes sense to take the risk and give preference to this outcome.
The bet is a draw. Such a bet is offered 3.40
Betting on corners
Sunderland will certainly be active up front at home, but Coventry need to fight back, and the visitors will also be active in attack – there should be a lot of corners.
The bet is a total of more than 10.5 corners. This bet is offered for 1.85
