Thomas left it late in the first leg, but eventually had two shots in injury time to keep up his record.

He is a big threat from set pieces, this is an obvious plus, but those that remember Thomas’ last minute goal at Stoke a few weeks ago will remember that Thomas is also very useful on the ground in terms of getting shots away.

One of the major standouts from the match on Friday was how often Coventry got the ball into the box, either from a set piece or a long throw. It seems a statistical likelihood that the Sky Blues’ most potent header of a ball will find himself on the end of at least one of these, especially when Coventry need a goal.

Rudoni showed his all round game in the first leg, and part of that is being a goal threat, scoring the equaliser with a header and having two other shots outside of that.

He took four shots on final day, scoring twice, exactly when his team needed him. Adding the three shots from Friday night makes his seasonal average 1.95 shots per 90, this rises to 2.29 per 90 when only considering Coventry's last 10 matches.

Rudoni has had at least one shot in seven of his eight starts, hitting the 2+ target in four of those. Rudoni needs to be one of the key players to step up for Coventry here.

The Sunderland right-back is in a strong run of matches in which he has fired off at least one shot. He shot twice in the opening leg, which illustrated this nicely. He hit a free-kick into the wall in the first half, and then had a shot from a corner as well.

A player who is on direct free-kicks, as well as one getting shots from corners, shouldn't be as big a price as he is.

Hume has now had at least one shot in seven of his last 10 starts, with one of those being in a game where he was sent off inside the opening 10 minutes.

It was very noticeable in the first leg that Coventry tried to play as much as possible in Sunderland’s half. This meant that the central defenders pushed on and put themselves in close contact with the Sunderland forwards. In addition, Matt Grimes dropped into the centre of the pitch to give Coventry an extra man.

All this meant that Bobby Thomas was quite often in the position where he would need to make a tackle to prevent a counter-attack.

Thomas ended up making three tackles in the first leg. He also made two in the final match of the regular season. Stretching his record back before his injury, Thomas has now hit the two or more tackles line in five of his last six starts.

Whilst it might be extreme to say that Coventry should be favourites in this market, home advantage usually plays a major role in this market, it is a surprise to see Coventry as big a price as they are here.

Coventry won the corner count 9-4 in the first leg, and with the perception that the pattern of play in this match could be similar to the first, especially with Sunderland having an advantage to defend, there is a better than implied chance of Coventry maintaining an advantage in this metric.

It is easy to see why the prices have been derived the way they are, Sunderland average 6.22 corners per home game, conceding only 3.3, and Coventry have a -2 corner differential away from home as well, conceding over seven per away match. However, when visiting the Stadium of Light in the regular season Coventry won the corner count 7-2.

Cirkin had a tough time in the first leg, especially in the first half against Tatsuhiro Sakamoto.

The England U21 international fouled the Japanese winger twice in the opening 20 minutes, resulting in a yellow card. It would be sensible for Coventry to direct a lot of their attacks down the right again, where Milan van Ewijk is a ready support for Sakamoto, and Rudoni often drifts out there too in order to perform some rotations.

Cirkin is already Sunderland most regular fouler, averaging 1.49 fouls per 90 this season, but he has committed two fouls in each match that he has played since his return from injury.

Grimes’ role in the first leg is one that looks ripe for fouls. The former Swansea man was tasked with covering the central space between Coventry's central defenders in the event of a Sunderland counter attack.

He committed two fouls in the game, the first of which, early in the first half was preventing a counter attack, a situation one could see being repeated here.

Grimes has now committed two fouls in three consecutive matches. He has committed at least one foul in five consecutive matches, too.
