Best Tip: Under 2.5 goals

It would probably be a little strong to say that we expect Frank Kramer and Scott Parker to got all-out defensive here, but we certainly don't expect to see a deluge of goals as Coventry and Burnley go head-to-head. The stats belowimply under 2.5 goals (i.e. 2 goals of fewer in total), and we think it's likely to go that way too. With best odds of 1.57 available on under 2.5 goals and nothing too eyecatching in the full time result market, that's the bet we'd advise you go for.

Goal Statistics

Burnley's defensive record is very strong, Scott Parker's men having conceded 1 or less in 39 consecutive Championship matches. An underwhelming PG rating of 1.0 for Coventry City makes sense in this context.
