Team set-up

How will the two teams line up?

Confirmed line-ups are published about an hour before kick-off.

Home

AFC Bournemouth

Expect Bournemouth to sit compact at Vitality Stadium and wait for one chance rather than try to control the match.

Away · promoted

Coventry City

Coventry are back in the top flight and still adjusting to its pace. Expect a deep, compact shape on their trip to Vitality Stadium, long spells without the ball and most of their threat from set pieces.

Risk radar

What could change the prediction?

The news that would move our numbers before kick-off.

  • If Bournemouth name a weakened XI

    Rotation or a missing key player would cut several points from their win chance. Line-ups are out an hour before kick-off.

  • If Coventry score first

    The favourite has to chase the game, and both the draw and the upset become much more likely.

  • If a red card comes in the first hour

    Going down to ten men changes the expected-goals picture completely, whichever side it hits.

Preview

Bournemouth vs Coventry match preview

AFC Bournemouth host Coventry City in front of their own fans, and the Goexch numbers lean towards Bournemouth. The expected-goals gap (2.06 for Bournemouth, 0.85 for Coventry) is the clearest signal, and it is where our 65% for Bournemouth comes from. Coventry's best chance is to keep it level into the last 30 minutes, when the draw becomes a real possibility.
