Coventry vs Sunderland prediction: BTTS and the best odds
Coventry v 
Sunderland
Result: right. The call was both teams to score; the match ended 3-1. Every call so far.
Sunderland are favourites at 2.41 after recent results at home and on the road. Kick-off is 16:00 WAT on Saturday at Coventry Building Society Arena. Coventry miss several players through injury and that shapes selection.
Coventry are without A. Amenda, J. Eccles, L. Woolfenden and H. Wright. The reasons given are calf, ankle, knee and muscle injuries in that order. B. Thomas is a doubt with a calf injury.
Sunderland are without D. Ballard with a muscle injury and R. Mundle with a knee injury. N. Mukiele is a doubt with a face injury and J. Ta Bi is a doubt with injury.

| Outcome | Price at 1xBet Nigeria | Chance the price gives | Price without the cut |

| Home | 3.23 | 31.0% | 3.28 |
| Draw | 3.42 | 29.2% | 3.48 |
| Away | 2.41 | 41.4% | 2.45 |
My read: both teams to score. The bookmakers’ prices put it at 55% after the cut is removed, and three of Sunderland’s last five saw both sides score.
Stake only what you can afford to lose.
