Home edge
Edge: Man Utd
Man Utd are the better side and at home, which our model values at a little over a fifth of a goal. The two advantages stack.

3.2 expected goals is above the league norm, and the over 2.5 line lands 61% of the time in our simulations.
Quality gap

How do the two teams set up?
Confirmed line-ups land about an hour before kick-off.
Home
Manchester United
Well organised and hard to play through, Man Utd usually earn results at Old Trafford by winning the midfield battle.
Away · promoted
Coventry City
As a promoted side, Coventry will prioritise not conceding on their trip to Old Trafford. 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 Man Utd 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.
