Deciding factors · 03

Which factors will settle this match?

Home advantage, expected goals and the factor carrying the most weight here.

  1. Home advantage

    Home support is worth about a fifth of a goal to Coventry. It closes the gap but does not erase Man Utd's extra quality.

    EdgeEven

  2. Expected goals

    2.9 expected goals is above the league norm, and over 2.5 lands 56% of the time in our simulations.

    EdgeGoals

  3. Quality gap

    Man Utd rate clearly stronger and the draw is only 23%. If they score first, the game should follow.

Team shape · 05

How will the two teams set up?

Official line-ups are announced roughly an hour before kick-off.

At home · promoted

Coventry City

Coventry are newly promoted and still getting used to the speed of the top flight. Look for a deep, compact block at Coventry Building Society Arena, long periods without the ball and most of their danger from set pieces.

Away

Manchester United

Man Utd are well coached, with enough cutting edge to punish errors on the road at Coventry Building Society Arena. Their game is built on winning the midfield.

What could change · 06

What would change the KhelKing prediction?

Team news and match events that would move our numbers.

  1. If

    Man Utd field a weakened XI

    Then

    Rotation or a missing key player would take several points off their win chance. Line-ups drop an hour before kick-off.

  2. If

    Coventry score first

    Then

    The favourite must chase, and both the draw and the upset become far more likely.

  3. If

    a red card arrives in the first hour

    Then

    Playing with ten men rewrites the expected-goals picture, whichever team it hits.
