Who wins?
Brit Predictor's model rates Man City to win as the most likely result (68%). It gives Man City 68% at home, a draw 21% and Coventry 11%, so its call is 1: Man City to win. The bookmakers, with their margin removed, have it 83% / 11% / 6%, a call of 1 — a clear disagreement with the model. Expected goals are 2.1 for Man City and 0.8 for Coventry; on goals, the model leans Over 2.5 at 54%. Careful: there is little recent data on Coventry, usually a promoted side, and the market tends to be right about those.
Rebuilt after kick-off using only matches played before it. A double chance (1X, X2, 12) is called when the top two results are within 10 points. A goals call (O2.5 or U2.5) is made only when the model gives one side at least 65%.
