It is a crucial match for both Coventry and West Brom as they battle for a place in the Championship play-offs. Coventry, currently in sixth place, will host West Brom, who are trailing closely behind in seventh place.
With only four games left in the season, Coventry holds a three-point lead over West Brom. The Baggies will see this game as a must-win as time is running out for them to secure a spot in the play-offs.
However, Coventry faces pressure from other teams like Middlesbrough and Millwall, making this match a vital one where neither side can settle for a draw.
Coventry has been strong at home, winning seven of their last nine games in the Championship on their own turf. In contrast, West Brom has struggled on the road, failing to win any of their last 13 away matches.
Team news
Coventry will be without goalkeeper Oliver Dovin, midfielder Josh Eccles, and forward Brandon Thomas-Asante. Bobby Thomas and Ephron Mason-Clark will undergo fitness tests after missing the last game against Hull.
West Brom continues to miss key players such as Semi Ajayi, Ousmane Diakite, and Jed Wallace. Star striker Josh Maja has been out injured since January, and Jayson Molumby is suspended following a red card in the previous match against Bristol City.
The stats
Coventry has won 12 out of 21 home league games this season, only behind Leeds and Sheffield United in home victories. They have lost only five of their last 20 Championship matches, winning seven of their last nine at home.
On the other hand, West Brom has won just one of their last 18 away games and none of their last 13 on the road in the league. Both teams have shown a tendency to score recently, with seven of Coventry's last 10 matches and 10 of West Brom's last 12 away games seeing both teams score.
West Brom has also won their last four Championship meetings with Coventry.
Prediction
Both teams will be eager to secure a victory in this crucial match to boost their chances of making it to the Championship play-offs. Coventry's strong home form could give them the edge in this encounter.
Although Coventry was held to a draw against Hull in their last game, they have been impressive at home, winning seven of their last nine matches. West Brom, on the other hand, ended a losing streak with a win against Watford but struggles on the road, failing to win any of their last 13 away games.
