Why they should win

Ipswich Town

  3. Home advantage at Portman Road, worth about three tenths of a goal.

How they could upset it

Coventry City

  1. 29% to win plus 27% for the draw: 56% that Ipswich do not win.

Deciding factors · 03

Which factors will settle this match?

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

  1. Home advantage

    Ipswich are both the stronger team and at home, which the model values at a little over a fifth of a goal. The two edges stack.

    EdgeIpswich

  2. Expected goals

    With 2.6 expected goals, the 2.5 line is near 50/50 (49% for the over).

    EdgeEven

  3. Draw risk

    A 27% draw chance is high by Premier League standards, which is why our anchor bet protects against the draw instead of backing a straight win.

Team shape · 05

How will the two teams set up?

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

At home · promoted

Ipswich Town

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

Away · promoted

Coventry City

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

What could change · 06

What would change the KhelKing prediction?

Team news and match events that would move our numbers.

  1. If

    Ipswich 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.
