The model makes Coventry 54% favourites here. Plymouth carry the 21% upset.
Plymouth have won three of their last five; Coventry have won three of their last five. Form gives little away going into this EFL Cup tie.
Goals look likely here. Plymouth average 1.9 per game (1.9 at home) and Coventry chip in with 2.6 (2.6 away). Defensively, Plymouth concede 1.3 at home and Coventry leak 1.2 on the road. We make it 58% for three or more goals. The numbers back it without being overwhelming. Whether both teams score is a genuine coin-flip, and we make it 51%.
Plymouth are all-out attack: 1.9 goals a game, but they leak 1.3 at the other end. They'll throw plenty at Coventry, but there are gaps at the back for the visitors to get at. Coventry have goals in them (2.6 per game) but their record at the back (1.2 conceded) leaves them open. This could be end-to-end.
In the last 7 meetings: Plymouth have won 2, Coventry 4, with 1 draw. These fixtures average 2.7 goals per game. 4 of the last 7 produced 3+ goals. Recent results: Plymouth 3-1 Coventry, Coventry 4-0 Plymouth, Plymouth 2-2 Coventry.
