In my opinion Sunderland have really good chances to make at least one point in today's match up.
Odds on Sunderland raised up by 0.30 from opening odds on big Asian markets with the highest possible limits and now I see excellent value on home side.
Sunderland coming back to Championship - it's fantastic news for everyone. They are club with big traditions and huge fan base. Today we can expect +40.000 at the City of Light. Big occasion and such huge crowd should be able to give additional power for players in key moments.
I watched Sunderland in pre season game against Rome. Despite the loss, they not looked bad against one of the best Italian team. In previous season of League One, Sunderland looked superb in home matches as they recorded 16 wins in 23 home matches (49 goals scored!).
Coventry came back to Championship two years, in previous season they were able to finish season in top half of the table (12th), but I still don't see such big difference between both teams in terms of quality, ambitions and potential. Coventry is not strong away team in Championship standards as they won only 11 of last 46 away league matches.
I really believe home advantage will make difference today and because of that I don't see Sunderland as a underdog in this game.

在我看来,桑德兰有很好的机会在今天的比赛中至少拿到一分。
桑德兰的赔率比亚洲大市场的开盘价提高了0.30,现在我看到了主场的绝佳价值。
桑德兰重回英冠,这对每个人来说都是好消息。他们是一家有着悠久传统和庞大球迷基础的俱乐部。今天,我们预计光之城的游客人数将超过40000人。大场面和如此庞大的人群应该能够在关键时刻给予球员额外的力量。
我看了桑德兰对罗马的季前赛。尽管输球了,但面对意大利最好的球队之一,他们看起来还不错。在上个赛季的英甲联赛中,桑德兰在主场比赛中表现出色,他们在23场主场比赛中取得了16胜(攻入49球!)
考文垂两年前回到英冠,在上个赛季他们能够排在积分榜的上半区(第12名),但我仍然没有看到两支球队在质量、野心和潜力方面有这么大的差距。考文垂在英冠标准上并不是一支强大的客场球队,因为他们在过去的46场客场联赛中只赢了11场。
我真的相信主场优势会改变今天的比赛,正因为如此,我不认为桑德兰在这场比赛中处于劣势。
