Key factors
What will decide this match?

Home advantage

Expected goals
Edge: Even
At 2.8 expected goals, the 2.5 line is close to 50/50 (52% for the over).
Quality gap
Edge: Villa
Villa rate clearly higher and the draw is only 24%. If they score first, the match should go their way.

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.
