Coventry's attack has barely started
Frank Lampard's side lost their first four league games, including 0-1 at home to Hull City and 0-5 at home to Brighton. They then won 1-0 at Nottingham Forest on 19 September, their first Premier League win since April 2001.
That Jay DaSilva goal at the City Ground is still their only league goal of the season. Haji Wright and Aurele Amenda are out injured, and Taiwo Awoniyi is still suspended after his red card against Brighton.
| Date | Opponent | Result |
|---|---|---|
| 29 Aug | Hull City (h) | Lost 0-1 |
| 5 Sep | Manchester City (a) | Lost 0-1 |
| 13 Sep | Brighton (h) | Lost 0-5 |
| 19 Sep | Nottingham Forest (a) | Won 1-0 |
Newcastle score, but they leak too
Matthias Jaissle's Newcastle have scored in every league game: 2-2 with Liverpool, 2-0 at Tottenham, 2-2 with Bournemouth, 1-4 at Leeds and 2-1 against Hull City. That's nine scored and nine conceded.
They have conceded in their last three league games. Nico Gonzalez and Joelinton could return after the break, which would steady the midfield.
Where the bet can go wrong
Newcastle games have averaged 3.6 goals, and their back line has kept only one league clean sheet. If Coventry score early, this bet is in trouble against a side that has scored in every game.
Coventry did keep their first clean sheet at Forest, so a 1-0 either way is also live. Both results still win the bet.
Why both teams to score: no
We need one side to draw a blank. Coventry have done that in four of five league games, and the striker problem has not improved over the break. At @2.37 the price is bigger than Coventry's scoring record suggests it should be.
