Coventry host Sunderland at 3pm on Saturday, inside the blackout window and off the television — so this one is a bet to follow rather than a game to watch.
Below are the free bets worth claiming for it, then our tips from the stats, and a bet builder you can put a free bet on.
Coventry vs Sunderland Free Bets
The biggest new-customer offer for this one is Betfred’s, and it is the right shape for a bet builder: of the £50, twenty of it comes back as Bet Builder free bets rather than ordinary sports free bets.

Coventry vs Sunderland Betting Offers
Which offer suits you depends on the bet you actually want to place, and for a 3pm kick-off that is worth thirty seconds of thought rather than taking the biggest number on the page.
- Backing the bet builder below — Betfred, because £20 of the £50 is specifically Bet Builder free bets, and the qualifying bet at evens is easy to meet with a builder of two or three legs.
- Backing one selection at a bigger price — SBK, whose qualifying bet has to be at 3.0 or bigger, which a single card or shots line will clear on its own.
- Staking as little as possible — Ladbrokes, £5 to get £30, and the lowest qualifying price of the group at 1/2.
