How do the two teams set up?
Confirmed line-ups land about an hour before kick-off.
Home
Sunderland
Sunderland are a pragmatic mid-table team: solid without the ball at Stadium of Light, but short of the creativity to dominate.
Away · promoted
Coventry City
As a promoted side, Coventry will prioritise not conceding on their trip to Stadium of Light. 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 Sunderland 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.
