Coventry will be hoping to put an end to their four-game losing run when they welcome Aston Villa in the EFL Cup. The Sky Blues were thrashed 5-0 by Brighton at the weekend, adding further pressure ahead of this cup tie. Taiwo Awoniyi is suspended, while Wright, Woolfenden, Kesler-Hayden, and Eccles are all ruled out through injury. Coventry have nevertheless won 60% of their last 10 matches, scoring an impressive 2.10 goals per game, with their home average standing at 2.17.
The Villans, meanwhile, are also desperate for a response after a 2-1 defeat to Nottingham Forest. Several first-team regulars departed during the summer, and Villa are still searching for their first Premier League victory of the new campaign. Unai Emery's men have won only 20% of their last 10 matches, conceding 2.00 goals per game, while BTTS landed in 70% of those fixtures. Pau Torres is doubtful after picking up a knock against Forest, with Tyrone Mings ready to step in.
BTTS landed in 70% of Villa's last 10 matches, while Coventry average 2.17 goals at home. Therefore, this betting option should be considered, alongside Aston Villa or Draw and Over 2.5 goals (Coventry's matches average 3.60 goals, with Villa's averaging 3.20 over their last 10).
This EFL Cup match will be played on Wednesday 16 September 2026 at 20:00.
