What will decide it?

Home advantage first, then the goals picture and the factor with the most pull on this fixture.

How do the two teams set up?

Confirmed line-ups land about an hour before kick-off.

Home

Aston Villa

Well organised and hard to play through, Villa usually earn results at Villa Park by winning the midfield battle.

Away · promoted

Coventry City

As a promoted side, Coventry will prioritise not conceding on their trip to Villa Park. Their best chances usually come from dead balls and transitions.

What would change our mind?

The developments we would react to before kick-off.

  • If Villa name a weakened XI

    Rotation or a key absence would take several points off their win chance; check line-ups an hour before kick-off.

  • If Coventry score first

    The favourite has to chase, and both the draw and the upset become much more likely.

  • If a red card comes in the first hour

    Ten men changes the expected-goals picture entirely, whichever side it hits.
