Everton
CoventryEverton vs Coventry — BTTS Yes
This one screams goals at both ends. Everton at home are heavy favourites and the tipster boys all have them winning but here's the thing, three of the four predicted scorelines out there are 2-1. Even the models backing Everton can't see them keeping a clean sheet, and neither can I. Everton's defence has looked shaky all season, they grind out results rather than dominate, and their last five reads 2 wins, a draw and 2 losses — hardly a fortress.
Coventry are missing bodies, no doubt Wright, Eccles, Woolfenden and a couple more are out. But this is still a side that's won 3 of their last 5 and scores even when they lose. Championship top-flight teams going to PL grounds in games like this don't park the bus they have a go, because they've got nothing to lose and everything to prove. One set piece, one counter, one scramble and they've got their goal.
And from Everton's side, at home against a depleted Championship defence, they're scoring. That's the free square.
So the way I see it: Everton probably win the game, but both teams getting on the scoresheet is the bet. The exact score most people smarter than me are predicting is 2-1 — which is BTTS Yes all day long.
