Sunderland and Coventry meet in the second leg of their Championship play-off semi-final tie on Tuesday and the hosts have a clear advantage.
The Black Cats came away from Coventry with a 2-1 lead after the first leg, and now have the benefit of playing at home in the second meeting.
Frank Lampard’s visitors will feel they can fight back in this tie, however, and I’m fairly optimistic this will be a high-scoring and entertaining clash.
I’ve covered the game in our dedicated Match Predictions section and have now focused on the player markets to put together this ambitious 132/1 Ultimate Bet Builder Tip.

Back our 123/1 Sunderland vs Coventry Bet Builder here
Haji Wright To Score Anytime
Coventry need their key men to step up and Haji Wright looks a contender for a goal. Wright underwhelmed in the first leg but he did hit four goals in two games against Sunderland during the season, a hat-trick in Coventry and a solitary effort at this venue, and he can get on the scoresheet on Tuesday.
Eliezer Mayenda To Score Anytime
Eliezer Mayenda scored for Sunderland in the first leg and he can add to his haul in the return fixture. The Spanish forward has a respectable nine goals in 38 Championship games this season and has two in his last three starts, so he looks the form player in the hosts’ attack.
Dennis Cirkin To Commit 2+ Fouls
Sunderland’s Dennis Cirkin was booked in the first leg and has committed at least two fouls in each of his last three starts. Sunderland have a lead to defend and that could lead to a physical approach at times, and Cirkin isn’t afraid to get stuck in as he averages 2.5 tackles and 1.3 fouls per-game in the Championship.
Matt Grimes To Commit 2+ Fouls
Matt Grimes committed two fouls in the first leg, making it three successive games in which the Coventry defender has been called up for at least two infringements. Grimes averaged 0.4 fouls per-game at Swansea before his mid-season move to Coventry and that figure stands at 0.7 for his current club, so at 7/2 he looks overpriced to commit at least two fouls.
