EV: -7.0%

Match Analysis
Coventry, leading the Championship, host Derby in a matchup that pits the league's best home side against a solid but less consistent Derby. Coventry's recent form is strong, with three clean sheets in their last five and a powerful attack averaging over 2 goals per game. Derby have won four of their last five but have struggled to score freely away from home, and their away defense faces a stern test. Expect Coventry to control the match, likely taking an early lead and keeping Derby at bay, with a low probability of both teams scoring.
