Everton v Coventry City
Our call
We looked at this match and did not find a call worth making. That can change as team news comes in: calls are looked at again every fifteen minutes until kick-off, so one can change or come down, and each closes when the match starts. the bet slip stays exactly as posted.
Everton v Coventry City is one to leave alone. There is a likely outcome here, but every bookmaker has it shorter than it deserves, so there is nothing to take.
Preview
Everton are riding their luck and it ends here. Though they sit 7th in the table, they have conceded only 10 goals in their last 10 when the chances they gave up should have cost 14. A mix of lucky breaks and strong goalkeeping keeps them afloat while their performance has dropped over their last four games. Coventry often struggle to control the flow, being out-created in six of their last 10. Missing a regular defender who has started nine games makes the visitors vulnerable at the back, but Everton are trending down. Brennan Johnson and Thierno Barry will lead an attack that is creating less lately. Jack Rudoni has four goals this season. He decides this one.
