Manchester City host Coventry City at the Etihad Stadium in their third English Premier League match of the season. After defeat in the Community Shield, City have won their opening two games of the EPL season. What a transfer window the Blues have enjoyed, too! New signings Iliman Ndiaye and Enzo Fernandez are likely to make their debuts in this one, adding to an already star-studded squad. Coventry City's return to the English top flight hasn't gone to plan. They've lost their opening two league matches. The first, away to Arsenal, wasn't a surprise but their home defeat to Hull City would've hurt Frank Lampard's side. Beating Man City away is a tall order for any side, especially a newly-promoted side who have yet to register a league goal, let alone a point.
Man City won 14 of their 19 home games in the league last season, the second-best record in the EPL. The Citizens were also the highest goalscorers at home, scoring 45 goals across those 19 games.
As you might expect, Man City are clear favorites to win this one. There's little value to be found in the 1x2 odds, though. Instead, our prediction is based on the To Win Both Halves market.

Our Manchester City vs Coventry City Prediction
There'll be very few times in this English Premier League season where you'll find odds overwhelmingly in favor of a particular side to win more than Man City to beat the Sky Blues. As such, it's tough to find value in the straight Man City win. This is likely to be an extremely comfortable win for the home side with a few goals being scored. We think Man City will win both the first and second half in a comprehensive victory.
Our prediction for Manchester City vs Coventry City is: Half-Time/Full-Time Man City/Man City
