Sunderland - Coventry City predictions

The online bookies marked Sunderland as the favourites, which makes a lot of sense. Still, we wouldn’t put Coventry City winning beyond them – not to mention that draws are a strong possibility in relatively balanced games.

It’s highly unlikely that Coventry City will manage to get some points this round. Sunderland are at a considerable advantage, so even a draw would be a success for the visitors.

Sunderland have a rather difficult – yet pretty successful – Championship trip behind them. They managed to beat the odds and genera betting predictions and claim a narrow 3.36) after a tied first half.

Coventry are coming off of a disappointing 1:2 loss in the previous round. The first half of that match was one long stalemate, but their opponents Sunderland broke the tie later on.

Whenever we see a match at Stadium of Light it seems to be a good chance for Under 5 Goals bets. The way Sunderland have been playing is the main culprit here – their two previous home games ended with barely any goals in total.

The last time these two teams met Sunderland managed to secure a solid away win, although it was rather narrow. They’re still considered the favourites in this matchup, especially now that they have the home-field advantage on their side.

Tuesday's match will see both teams at full strength, able to utilize all their players.

Though a Home Win bet is the best offer in terms of value, the outcome is far from guaranteed. Though there’s a moderate risk involved, the 2.15 odds offered at 888Sport are worth it.
