Manchester City have won three of their last five; Coventry have taken six points from their last two. The visitors bring the sharper form into this Premier League tie.
Both sides are prolific in front of goal. Manchester City average 2.0 per game and Coventry chip in with 3.5. Expect an open, attacking contest. Coventry could be in for a similar cool-off. 3.5 goals a game against chance quality worth only 2.1. Hot finishing has been covering for the fact they aren't creating that much.
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.
Manchester City create chances worth 2.0 a game (and give up chances worth 1.3), leaving them +0.8 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. Coventry are also scoring more than their chances suggest (3.5 goals vs chance quality of 2.1). Both runs could cool off at once.
Goals are a tough one to call here. Manchester City are scoring 2.0 a game (2.0 of those at home) and Coventry manage 3.5 (3.5 on the road). Add it up and it's basically a coin-flip whether we see three or more, we make it 50%, so there's no strong lean either way on the goals line. Both teams scoring looks unlikely (just 29%). Manchester City shut the door in 42% of their games and Coventry draw a blank in 15% of theirs, so don't be surprised if one side keeps it tight at the back.
Both teams score in 47% of Manchester City's home games and 57% of Coventry's away matches. both teams finding the net isn't guaranteed.
Manchester City are all-out attack: 2.0 goals a game, but they leak 1.0 at the other end. They'll throw plenty at Coventry, but there are gaps at the back for the visitors to get at. Coventry are similarly well-balanced. 3.5 scored, 0.5 conceded per game. This has the makings of a tight, tactical game between two organised sides.
Most likely scorelines: 1-2 (10%) and 1-1 (9%).
