Deciding factors

Which factors will settle this match?

Home advantage, expected goals and the factor carrying the most weight here.

    Edge: Even

Team shape

How will the two teams set up?

Official line-ups are announced roughly an hour before kick-off.

At home

Newcastle United

Newcastle are well coached, with enough cutting edge to punish errors at St James' Park. Their game is built on winning the midfield.

Away · promoted

Coventry City

Coventry are newly promoted and still getting used to the speed of the top flight. Look for a deep, compact block on the road at St James' Park, long periods without the ball and most of their danger from set pieces.

What could change

What would change the King Exchange prediction?

Team news and match events that would move our numbers.

  1. If Newcastle field a weakened XI

    Rotation or a missing key player would take several points off their win chance. Line-ups drop an hour before kick-off.

  2. If Coventry score first

    The favourite must chase, and both the draw and the upset become far more likely.

  3. If a red card arrives in the first hour

    Playing with ten men rewrites the expected-goals picture, whichever team it hits.

The long read

Newcastle vs Coventry match preview

Newcastle United welcome Coventry City in front of a home crowd, and the King Exchange numbers tilt toward Newcastle. The expected-goals split (2.29 for Newcastle, 0.56 for Coventry) is the strongest signal, and it drives our 76% for Newcastle. Coventry's best hope is to keep it level going into the final 30 minutes, when a draw becomes very live.
