Coventry vs Manchester United Betting Tips - Over 2.5 Goals

High-scoring FA Cup semi-finals are rare, but this Sunday's clash could break the mould, with Manchester United's tendency for drama in recent months. 

Coming into this fixture, the Red Devils have scored twice, and conceded twice in four of their last five matches. Over the longer period, United have seen BTTS in 12 of their last 15 matches played since mid-January. An average of four goals was scored in those 15 matches.

While the Premier League side are obvious favourites, Coventry will fancy their chances against a side that rarely makes life easy for themselves. Erik Ten Haag′s side have won just one of their last seven matches (in 90 minutes) while they have conceded 12 goals in their five most recent fixtures.

Coventry have endured an inconsistent run of form ahead of their big day out in London. The Sky Blues have won two but lost three of their last five matches since their thrilling 3:2 win against Wolves in the quarter-finals last month.

Like United, goals can usually be relied upon when Coventry are involved. Mark Robins side have remarkably seen over 2.5 goals scored in 23 of their last 25 matches across all competitions. Each of the Sky Blues last 11 games saw at least three goals scored. 

With both teams defensively leaky - Coventry have leaked nine in their last five matches (compared to United′s 12), I′m confident we will see plenty of goalmouth action this weekend.

Over 2.5 goals is my top tip for Sunday's FA Cup semi-final while I also fancy both teams to net in a likely lively contest at Wembley.
