Statistical pre-kickoff PPG: Coventry at home: 0.00 points per match (2 measured matches); Sunderland away: 0.33 points per match (3 measured matches).

Method. Independent Poisson. Each club's goals scored and conceded per match this season are set against the league average, then scaled by the league's home average (1.57 goals) and away average (1.30 goals).

Sample. Coventry 5 matches, Sunderland 6, the league 56, all 2026-27, read before kick-off. One unusual result moves a small sample a long way.

Left out. Line-ups, injuries, rest days, shot quality and earlier seasons. The historical reconstruction is separate from a record published before kickoff. How the model works.
