Coventry vs West Brom Prediction & Tips
The match between Coventry and West Bromwich is one of the main attractions of the Championship finals. Both teams are in the thick of the battle for a playoff place: Coventry are in sixth place with 63 points, while West Bromwich are only three points behind. In such cases, it is often called a six-point game.
Theoretically, there are around ten candidates for the two vacant positions in the top six, but as the end approaches, the actual circle of competitors is shrinking. With four rounds to go, the fight is essentially between five teams, which is quite a lot.
Coventry have a tough end to the season. As well as a direct clash with West Bromwich, Frank Lampard’s side face another direct rival, Middlesbrough. Encouragingly, both games will be played at home to Coventry, with the support of their fans, a factor that can be decisive in such a tight competition.
For West Bromwich, the upcoming encounter with Coventry looks to be the most serious test of the remaining part of the season. However, the games that follow do not promise to be an easy ride either. All three of the Baggies’ remaining opponents are in the high relegation risk zone and are desperately fighting to stay in the Championship. In such conditions, you can’t count on easy points: the motivation of the teams in the relegation zone is extremely high, and every game for them will be like a final.
