Alternative: Both Teams to Score (BTTS)
| Outcome | Bookmaker Odds | Implied % |
|---|---|---|
| BTTS Yes | 2.52 | 39.7% |
| BTTS No | 1.473 | 67.9% |
Assessment: BTTS @ 2.52 is NOT recommended. Coventry's anemic attacking record (3 goals in last 6 matches, heavy defeats by Watford 0–4 and Portsmouth 1–5) makes the 39.7% implied probability generous. Arsenal's defensive record is strong. Skip this market.
