- 2nd Prediction: Under 2.5 goals 43/50
- 3rd Prediction: Chris Rigg to score 43/10
These are the expert selected odds from the top sports betting sites in the UK.
First Prediction For Sunderland v Coventry City: Sunderland to win 57/50
Sunderland sit at the summit of the table and need to earn all three points in a clash with Coventry. Nine wins already this season have proved just how incredible the Black Cats have been so far this campaign. Despite having no wins in the last eight matches against Coventry, this is different. A home fixture as table-toppers with a revitalised midfield will prove to be a completely different beast for this Sky Blues side.
Second Prediction For Sunderland v Coventry City: Under 2.5 goals 43/50
In the previous five matches, four of them have contained less than 2.5 goals, barring a 2-1 victory over Luton Town. The majority of their home games this season have also seen this bet land and with this being another one at the Stadium of Light, the trend will likely continue. Two 0-0s against Queens Park Rangers and Preston North End have been Sunderland’s recent performances, so this is even more of an indicator that the lack of match goals may continue.
In their head-to-head performances, five of the last eight have involved less than 2.5 goals. This fixture is clearly one that often sees both teams match up to each other in defensive solidity.
Third Prediction For Sunderland v Coventry City: Chris Rigg to score 43/10
This offers some great value considering the 17-year-old’s impeccable standard at such a young age. Having already scored three times this campaign and flourishing once again mid-week, despite a 0-0 affair with Preston, Rigg could be set to add to his tally against a Coventry side facing a managerial shift.
In a formation that sees Bellingham miss out through suspension, Rigg could play in the more attacking role that he is so suited to in Le Bris’ side. With a tremendous front three in front of him and Alan Browne and Dan Neil behind, the service that the midfielder will get may be in abundance here.

Full Preview of the Game: Latest Results and Head-to-head
Sunderland have won three of their five previous matches. However, two 0-0 draws with QPR and Preston have halted their extremely impressive, winning momentum going into this clash. Before these two stalemates, vital wins against Oxford United, Luton Town and Hull City have kept Regis Le Bris’ side top of the table so far.
As for Coventry, it has been a mixed bag of results heading into this tie. Two wins against Middlesbrough and Luton Town were enough to keep faith in Mark Robins going, but the board have since sacked the longest-serving manager in the Championship following a 2-1 defeat to Derby County.
The head-to-head clashes have seen four Coventry wins in their last eight meetings. The only other fixtures have featured draws since a League One meeting in 2018. Sunderland haven’t beaten the Sky Blues in a long time but will be hopeful of a change in fortune now that they sit at the summit.
