The CCFC Analysis Preview: Coventry vs Manchester City

I find It very depressing going into a game with literally no chance. I was trying to find some optimism from somewhere.

CCFC Analysis

I find It very depressing going into a game with literally no chance. I was trying to find some optimism from somewhere.

So, I checked the bookies odds and we’re 12/1.

Then I looked back through Man City’s home fixtures to find a similar slip-up, 12 November 2022, a 2-1 loss to Brentford, being the last one. Onyeka played 87mins in a 3-5-2. A late Ivan Toney goal won it. Ethan Pinnock made 17 defensive contributions and pocketed Erling Haaland.

Realistically though, it’s a question of how many. The bookies think there’s more chance of City winning 6-0, than us winning 1-0. The bookies think there’s more chance of Villa getting relegated than us winning at City.
