Best Tip: Both teams to score

Coventry should have reason to feel positive ahead of this match and, funnily enough, so might A Villa. The bookies don't think there's much between them and neither do we – there's no clear winner in this clash. So our tip looks to the both teams to score market, where there's far more clarity.

Aston Villa's defensive record is very strong, U. Emery Etxegoien's men having conceded 1 or less in 7 consecutive League Cup matches. An underwhelming PG rating of 1.4 for Coventry City makes sense in this context.
