Villa are organised and hard to break down, and they usually get results at Villa Park by winning the midfield.

Risk radar

What could change the prediction?

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

If Villa 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.
