Attack
Tottenham hold a marginal attacking edge, scoring 0.7 goals per home match across 3 home matches against Coventry's 0.3 away across 3 away matches, but both figures sit well below the league averages for their venues. Tottenham's home rate is worse than the league average for a home side, and Coventry's away rate is worse than the league average for an away side, so neither attack offers much threat here.

About The Match
Tottenham and Coventry meet with the home side winless in six league matches and sitting five places below their visitors, yet the market still prices Tottenham as a clear favourite at 66%. The most telling number is Tottenham's home scoring rate of 0.7 goals per match across 3 home matches, which is barely above Coventry's 0.3 away and leaves both attacks well short of the league averages for their venues. The key uncertainty is whether Coventry's marginally better away defence can hold against a Tottenham side that has failed to score in two of three home matches, while Coventry themselves have scored just once in three away games.
