A Low-Scoring Game Set to Happen?

Get ready for the second leg of this Championship play-off semi-final tie as Sunderland clash with Coventry at Stadium of Light. The Black Cats won the first leg 2-1.

We don’t think the net will bulge too many times when Sunderland go up against Coventry. For this reason, we’re backing Under 2.5 on the Total Goals market and this selection is priced at 1.80.

2-1 Triumph for Sunderland in Last H2H

Sunderland sealed a smash and grab win when beating Coventry 2-1 at Coventry Building Society Arena in the first leg. Coventry dominated possession with 75% of the ball, while the shots on target ended 3-3. Jack Rudoni scored for the Sky Blues, with Wilson Isidor and Eliezer Mayenda finding the net for the Black Cats.

Looking back to the previous 10 H2H meetings, there has been four draws. Coventry have won five games and Sunderland one.
