How do the two teams set up?

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

Home

Brighton & Hove Albion

Brighton combine structure with enough quality in the final third to punish mistakes at American Express Stadium. Midfield control is their foundation.

Away · promoted

Coventry City

As a promoted side, Coventry will prioritise not conceding on their trip to American Express Stadium. 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 Brighton 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.
