Coventry arrive on a 3-game winning run, yet the model still only gives them 56% here.
Plymouth have won three of their last five; Coventry have won three straight. The visitors bring the sharper form into this EFL Cup tie.
Our PickCoventry to win at @1.70. Model probability 56% vs implied 59%. Priced at fair value, so take it for stability rather than edge.

Goals look likely here. Plymouth average 1.8 per game (1.8 at home) and Coventry chip in with 4.0 (4.0 away). Defensively, Plymouth concede 1.4 at home and Coventry leak 0.7 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 52%.
Plymouth are all-out attack: 1.8 goals a game, but they leak 1.4 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. 4.0 scored, 0.7 conceded per game. This has the makings of a tight, tactical game between two organised sides.
