What will decide it?
Home advantage first, then the goals picture and the factor with the most pull on this fixture.
Home edge
Edge: Even
Coventry's home crowd is worth about a fifth of a goal, which narrows the gap without erasing Forest's quality advantage.
Goal expectancy
Edge: Even
At 2.7 expected goals, the 2.5 line is close to a toss-up (51% for the over).
Quality gap
Edge: Forest
Forest rate clearly higher, and the draw is only 26%. If they score first, the game state favours them heavily.

How do the two teams set up?
Confirmed line-ups land about an hour before kick-off.
Home · promoted
Coventry City
Coventry are in their first season back and still learning the pace of the division. Expect a compact shape at Coventry Building Society Arena, long spells without the ball and danger from set pieces.
Away
Nottingham Forest
Expect Forest to stay compact on their trip to Coventry Building Society Arena and look for a moment rather than control the game.
What would change our mind?
The developments we would react to before kick-off.
If Forest 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.
The story of Coventry vs Forest
Coventry City take on Nottingham Forest in front of their own fans, and the Wazir Win numbers lean Forest's way. The gap in expected goals (1.32 for Coventry, 1.38 for Forest) is the clearest signal, and it is what produces our 38% for Forest. Coventry's best route is to keep it level into the last half-hour, when the draw becomes a live result.
