Coventry vs Arsenal Prediction, Odds & Statistics
Our Poisson-based model projects 0.96 expected goals for Coventry and 1.65 for Arsenal, a combined total of 2.61. That distribution gives Arsenal the largest share of the 1X2 market at 53%, with the draw at 25%. Goals markets follow the same shape: 48% for over 2.5 goals and 50% for both teams to score, with 0–1 the single most likely scoreline at 12%. Probabilities are statistical estimates and carry meaningful uncertainty — a 53% favourite still loses or draws a large share of the time.

Prediction conclusion
The model's leading selection is Arsenal win, at 53.4%. Its single most likely scoreline is 0–1.
It puts both teams scoring at 50% and over 2.5 goals at 48%.
A 53% 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.
