Tottenham Hotspur - Coventry City

Tottenham host Coventry seeking first home win

Tottenham sit bottom of the Premier League table with three points from six games, four places below Coventry, who have six points to Tottenham's three. Monday night's fixture at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium offers the hosts a chance to climb off the foot of the table, while Coventry arrive having won their last two matches.

Recent form points in opposite directions

Tottenham have drawn three and lost two of their last five recent matches, picking up three points from six games so far. That run includes a 1-1 draw with MAN in their most recent outing and back-to-back goalless draws against Nottingham Forest and Everton in early September. Coventry have won their last two matches, 4-1 against Newcastle and 1-0 against Nottingham Forest, after losing their opening three. Those two wins have taken them to six points from six games, three points above their hosts.

A win for Tottenham would take them to six points from seven games, while a draw would leave them on four. Coventry would reach nine points with a victory or seven with a draw. The gap in the table is narrow, but the hosts have played one fewer game and sit four places below the visitors.

Head-to-head record heavily favours Tottenham

The four meetings on record have all ended in Tottenham wins, 2-1 in September 2024, then 3-0, 3-0 and 2-0 in encounters stretching back to 2002. Those four matches produced 11 goals in total. The market-implied result probability gives Tottenham a 63.4 per cent chance of victory, with the draw at 20.7 per cent and a Coventry win at 15.9 per cent. That expectation sits above what the recent form suggests: Tottenham have not won any of their last five matches, while Coventry have won two.
