Coventry vs Brighton Prediction, Odds & Statistics
Our Poisson-based model projects 0.96 expected goals for Coventry and 2.40 for Brighton, a combined total of 3.36.

Prediction conclusion
The model's leading selection is Brighton win, at 69.2%. Its single most likely scoreline is 0–2.
It puts both teams scoring at 56% and over 2.5 goals at 65%.
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.
