Today we are waiting for a real battle and we will find out who will be the winner and what bets to pay attention to in the match
Command Analysis
Coventry City
Current form
Coventry City played their last match at home against Fulham and suffered their second defeat in a row. In that match, the two opponents scored only 25 shots on goal, 10 corners were given, but the initiative was owned by the guests, and the only goal scored in the 80th minute of the meeting brought Frank Lampard's wards another setback – 0:1 in the end.
This season, at a new level for themselves, the team is one of the most ineffective - six goals in eight matches with 15 goals conceded. At this stage, the Sky Blues are fighting to keep their registration in the elite of English football and occupy the 16th place in the standings with six points in the asset. The gap from the saving line is only one point, so you should not relax with a competitor in the fight for survival.
Disqualifications and injuries
Coventry will miss Amenda, Eccles, Wolfenden and Wright due to injuries.
Interesting betting trends
The Sky Blues have averaged 0.8 goals per game since the start of the championship.
The team has earned an average of one yellow card in the last five games.
Last season, Sunderland took a high seventh place in the standings and earned a direct ticket to the Europa League. However, the black cats did not shine in the game this season, they occupy the last place in the standings with five points in the asset and are fighting for survival.
In the last round, the wards of Regis Le Brice could not cope with Leeds (0:0) on their own field, and earlier lost to Bournemouth (0:2). In that match, the black cats were down ten at the 17th minute of the match with the score 0:1. In the last game in the Europa League, the red and white could not please the fans with a victory and exchanged goals in the match against Lech (1:1).
Disqualifications and injuries
Sunderland have injured Mandl and Ballard.
Interesting betting trends
The Red and white have not won on the road since the start of the championship.
The team failed to score against their opponents in the last four out of five rounds.
Approximate line–up: Rufs – Hume, Alderete, Danso, Mandava – Jaka, Sadiki - Angulo, Rigg, Le Fe - Brobbie.
Coventry are currently fighting their rival for a place in the elite at this stage of the Premier League and intend to leave the Black Cats in last place on their own field. Sunderland are getting tired for today's match, and Le Brice's team has a very busy calendar, which may affect the result. Obviously, it will be difficult for the visitors to dominate against the Sky Blues, especially since Lampard's team has won two in the last four rounds. The hosts have the advantage of their own field, they look preferable to the opponent, so we'll bet on the victory of the Coventry team.
Prediction – Coventry wins with a coefficient of 3.15
The hosts will surely strive to win and will take the game into their own hands from the first minutes of the meeting. All the more loyal fans will drive their team forward. Recently, opponents prefer to play attacking football, matches often turn out to be productive – four out of five face-to-face confrontations were scoring. We can assume that the opponents will not close in defense and finish the match with a high total.
The betting tip is a total of more than 2.5 goals with a coefficient of 1.95
A bet on the exact difference in the bill
Coventry will not play defensively and intends to use all its forces on the attack on its own field. The visitors have lost the last four out of five Premier League games by at least two goals, which is what we're betting on.
Prediction – Coventry win by two or three goals with a coefficient of 6.20
