Fulham vs Coventry City Best Pick, Prediction and Odds

No bet on Fulham +130. Our method has no number for this game, because Coventry City have played only 3 home games this season, and the market price stands untested.

DraftKings lists Coventry City at +210, the draw at +255 and Fulham at +130, read on 22 October at 21:18 UTC. Take out the book’s 3.9% margin, the extra it builds in so the three prices add to more than 100%, and the market reads Coventry City 31.0%, the draw 27.1% and Fulham 41.8%.

Why there is no number

Our method sets each side’s expected goals from the league’s average goals at that venue, scaled by the side’s scoring rate at its venue and the opponent’s conceding rate at the other venue. A Poisson model on the two figures gives home win, draw and away win. An outcome is a bet when our chance is at least 5 points above the market’s.

That needs a sample. Coventry City have 3 home games in the English Premier League this season, fewer than the 6 the method requires, and no previous-season home record of 6 or more in this league. The method returns nothing, so there is no gap to measure against 41.8%, 27.1% or 31.0%. Without a gap the verdict is no bet. Below the sample floor this tells us nothing, and the floor is what we have.

Coventry at home, Fulham on the road

The raw splits are below. They are not our number, only the material it would be built from.

Coventry City at home this season are 1-0-2 (wins, draws, losses), scoring 4 and conceding 7: 1.33 scored and 2.33 conceded a game. Fulham on the road are 0-1-2 in 3 games, scoring 1 and conceding 3: 0.33 scored and 1.00 conceded a game. Fulham’s 19 away games last season went 4-5-10, at 0.89 scored and 1.63 conceded a game.

The league’s average this season, over 70 games, is 1.61 goals for the home side and 1.29 for the visitor. Last season, over 380 games, it was 1.53 and 1.22. Three home games for one side and three away for the other prove nothing, and that is why the method refuses to price this.

The season around it

Coventry City are 17th of 20 with 6 points from 7 games, 2-0-5, with 6 scored and 14 conceded. Fulham are 18th with 5 points, 1-2-4, with 7 scored and 10 conceded. A place apart, and the market still makes Fulham the favourite at +130.

Three of Coventry City’s 7 league games this season have gone over 2.5 goals, as have 3 of Fulham’s 7. Those are counts, not rates we would stake on.

The two meetings in our data are both Coventry City wins. They won 4-1 at home on 2 October 2021 and 3-1 at Fulham on 10 April 2022. Neither feeds a number, because there is no number, and both are over four years old.

Pick: No bet

No bet. There is no gap to compare with the 5-point threshold.

What changes it

The sample. Once Coventry City reach 6 home games this season, the method prices the game from their record, and a page like this one can carry a call.

The price. Our data holds no level at which this becomes a bet, since there is no number to compare it with. A move from +130 on Fulham says nothing on its own.

The team sheets. This page has no injury list for either side. Check the lineups before you bet anything.

The total

Our data holds no goals total or secondary market for this game, so there is no call on either. The over counts above are for reference only.
