Arsenal vs Coventry Prediction, Odds & Statistics

Our Poisson-based model projects 2.08 expected goals for Arsenal and 0.72 for Coventry, a combined total of 2.80.

Goals markets follow the same shape: 53% for over 2.5 goals and 45% for both teams to score, with 2–0 the single most likely scoreline at 13%.

Prediction conclusion

The model's leading selection is Arsenal win, at 69.1%. Its single most likely scoreline is 2–0.

It puts both teams scoring at 45% and over 2.5 goals at 53%.

A 69% selection is expected to miss in the remaining share of matches, and football regularly produces red cards, injuries and tactical changes the data cannot see. Treat this as a probability, not a forecast of the result.
