Why Brighton are favourites for the match
The bookmakers favour the visitors: a Brighton win is available at 1.85, while the draw is offered at 3.80 and a Coventry City win at 4.10.
- Brighton sit in mid-table in the Premier League after taking four points from three matches at the start of the season.
- Over the first three matches, Brighton are one of the two highest-scoring teams, averaging 2.67 per game.
- Coventry lost their most recent match against Manchester City 0:1 and are still without a win in the current league campaign.
Form and Line-up Coventry City

Their low scoring rate is directly linked to limited activity in front of goal: the Sky Blues average just 2.33 shots on target per game.
Key numbers:
- At home, Coventry's opponents have taken no more than four corners in 9 of their last 10 matches in all competitions
- No more than 10 corners have been taken in 9 of Coventry's last 10 home matches in all competitions
- At home, Coventry's opponents have scored no more than one goal in 8 of their last 10 matches in all competitions
