Analysis

Coventry's intensity and set-piece threat can trouble Brighton's high defensive line, while Brighton's control and technical quality should generate more clear-cut chances. A draw edges likelihood given both sides' ability to frustrate; slight favour to Brighton's experience in close contests, but Coventry's home advantage and direct approach keeps this genuinely competitive.
