Sunderland - Coventry City predictions

Betting odds can be illusive at times and Coventry City are more than capable of pulling an upset. However, Sunderland should have a clear path to victory if they stick to the plan.

The matchup this Saturday is rather one-sided, with Coventry seen as the clear underdogs. Most bookmakers online have priced their victory at 3.70, which is enough to doubt such an outcome will happen.

The hosts’ narrow defeat in the previous round was a bit of an upset according to most Championship betting odds. Despite playing away, they were expected to at least put up a good fight. However, they ended up recording an HT/FT defeat.

Coventry City’s previous performance against Leeds United was a stalemate for most of the runtime. Considering Leeds United were expected to steamroll the far weaker away team, however, a 1:1 draw is a fairly decent outcome for The Sky Blues.

If you’re looking for an Under 5 Goals football bet, Sunderland may offer a decent opportunity. Their previous two matches even confirmed the Under 5 Goals market.

The Sky Blues’s recent record shows that most games end with a relatively small number of goals at the final tally. For instance, all 5 of their previous home games confirmed the Under 2.5 Goals market.

This matchup has been consistently ending in a draw throughout the current season. Sunderland played against The Sky Blues on several occasions in multiple different competitions, and never managed to gain the upper hand despite being considered favourites.

Both teams will be able to field their strongest lineups this Saturday, with no injuries or suspensions to worry about.

This is a solid match for those that like betting on longshots. Our advice is to pick Draw/Home on the Half Time/Full Time market. The probability of winning is not that high if we’re being honest, but it’s the best offer if you’re shooting for betting value.
