Coventry City vs Sunderland prediction: Sunderland to win 0-1 as model gives 46.1% chance
Premier League sees Coventry City face Sunderland at Coventry Building Society Arena. The model makes Sunderland the favourite, assigning a slight 46.1% probability of victory. For reference, the full split is Coventry City 24.9%, draw 28.9%, Sunderland 46.1%.
Coventry City have generated 0.84 goals per game (0.61x the league average) and are a leaky defence at 1.84 conceded per game. Sunderland average 0.92 scored (0.67x average) and are a steady defence at 1.55 conceded per game. Feeding those attack and defence strengths through a Poisson model, expected goals come out at 1.1 for Coventry City and 1.1 for Sunderland.
On the goals markets, the numbers point to a tighter, lower-scoring game (Under 2.5 at 63.2%), and both-teams-to-score is close to a coin flip (45.3%). The most probable exact scoreline is 0-1, with 1-1, 0-0, 0-1 the leading candidates.
