Key factors

Home advantage first, then expected goals and the factor with the most influence on this match.

Team set-up

How will the two teams line up?

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

Home · promoted

Coventry City

Coventry are back in the top flight and still adjusting to its pace. Expect a deep, compact shape at Coventry Building Society Arena, long spells without the ball and most of their threat from set pieces.

Away

AFC Bournemouth

Expect Bournemouth to sit compact on their trip to Coventry Building Society Arena and wait for one chance rather than try to control the match.

Risk radar

What could change the prediction?

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

  • If Coventry 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 Bournemouth 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

Coventry vs Bournemouth match preview

Coventry City host AFC Bournemouth in front of their own fans, and the Goexch numbers lean towards Coventry. The expected-goals gap (1.56 for Coventry, 1.21 for Bournemouth) is the clearest signal, and it is where our 45% for Coventry comes from. Bournemouth's best chance is to keep it level into the last 30 minutes, when the draw becomes a real possibility.
