Our prediction
Our pick for Tottenham Hotspur against Coventry City in London is W1 1.54. The visitors have conceded 11 goals in six league games, while their away attack has produced just one goal in three outings. That combination offers Spurs a route to their first league victory: Coventry have been vulnerable defensively without consistently carrying enough threat on the road to compensate.
This is a cautious endorsement of the hosts, not a verdict based on strong form. Tottenham have scored twice and conceded five times in three home league matches, so home advantage alone is insufficient. According to media reports, Bentancur is suspended and Porro is injured, while Kulusevski is ready for a place on the bench; Coventry are missing Woolfenden and Amenda. Those absences temper confidence but also leave the visitors short of defensive options. The market preference for Spurs remains more persuasive than Coventry's recent recovery. Predicted score: 2:1.
Final verdict
W1 1.54 is the selection, with Coventry's limited away scoring the decisive consideration. Tottenham's own attacking struggles make a narrow win more credible than a comfortable margin.
