Coventry City to Win<\/strong><\/td>\n4\/7 @ Bet365<\/a>
(63.6%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nWe are backing Coventry to win because they boast the league’s best attack (57 goals in 26 games), a robust home record, and have beaten Leicester at home in their last meeting. Leicester have lost 9 of 26 and are defensively vulnerable.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Correct Score: 2-1 Coventry City<\/strong><\/td>\n15\/2 @ Bet365<\/a>
(11.8%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nThis reflects the trend of closely contested head-to-heads, with the last three meetings averaging 2.33 goals per game. Coventry’s firepower and Leicester’s knack for nicking a goal makes 2-1 a realistic outcome at a generous price.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n
