| Market | Our model | Bookies imply | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| Over 2.5 Goals | 46.8% | 65.4% | 19 pts under |
| Arsenal Win | 69.4% | 87.7% | 18 pts under |

What this means: where our model sits above the bookies is where we see value they don't; below means the market already has it priced, no edge there.
Coventry arrive on a 3-game winning run, yet the model still only gives them 13% here.
Arsenal are unbeaten in their last five; Coventry have won three straight. Form gives little away going into this Premier League tie.
Arsenal shade it at 69%, though Coventry won't be pushovers. If you're building an acca, backing Arsenal with your stake back if it's a draw is the safer option.
Our PickArsenal to win at @1.18. Model probability 69% vs implied 85%. The market is 15pp more bullish than our model, so this is a stability pick, not a value one.
xG explained: Expected Goals measures chance quality. 1.5 xG = a side typically converts those chances into 1.5 goals. Outscoring xG = running hot, possible regression risk.
Arsenal create chances worth 1.7 a game (and give up chances worth 0.8), leaving them +0.9 a game on the balance. Coventry create 2.1 (giving up 1.2) for a balance of +0.9. The chance quality on both sides is remarkably similar. There's nothing to split these two underneath.
Goals are a tough one to call here. Arsenal are scoring 1.3 a game (1.3 of those at home) and Coventry manage 4.0 (4.0 on the road). Add it up and it's basically a coin-flip whether we see three or more, we make it 47%, so there's no strong lean either way on the goals line. Whether both teams score is a genuine coin-flip, and we make it 38%. Two or more goals at @1.20 is a steadier alternative for accas.
Both teams score in 42% of Arsenal's home games and 57% of Coventry's away matches. both teams finding the net isn't guaranteed.
Arsenal do it the hard way: only 1.3 a game up top, but a mean 0.6 conceded. They're a tough nut to crack: they soak up pressure and hit you on the break. Coventry are similarly well-balanced. 4.0 scored, 0.7 conceded per game. This has the makings of a tight, tactical game between two organised sides.
Most likely scorelines: 2-1 (4%) and 1-0 (4%).
