West Brom
Coventry, hate them or love them, you cannot deny they’re pretty darn good at football. This Lampard-driven squad look Premier League-bound if the opening third of the season is anything to go off, and show no signs of slowing down. The next victim to enter the wrath of the CBS Arena are West Brom, who have looked inconsistent under Ryan Mason to say the least, lying in the Championship mid-table with little to rave about this campaign.
Key Betting Tip: Coventry to Win at 1.75 odds represents excellent value based on the tip provided by our team of in-house tipsters.
Coventry City Predicted XI: Rushworth, van Ewijk, Thomas, Kitching, Dasilva, Sakamoto, Torp, Grimes, Mason-Clark, Thomas-Asante, Wright
Mason-Clark was stretchered off after scoring the winner against Stoke last time out, however, the international break has given him time to recover, and therefore he should be fine to start. Rudoni should also be included in the match day squad after recovering from a calf injury.
West Bromwich Albion Predicted XI: Griffiths, Styles, Mepham, Phillips, Gilchrist, Mowatt, Diakite, Johnston, Price, Grant, Maja
Wallace continues to be sidelined from an injury he faced earlier in the season. Campbell will also be a miss in WBA’s defence.
The Sky Blues are top of the Championship with 10 wins, 4 draws, 1 loss, and 34 points after 15 games. A lot of their success is down to their form in front of goal partnered with one of the best defences in the league, scoring 40 goals (1st) and conceding 13 (3rd).
The Baggies have 21 points, 6 wins, 3 draws, and 6 losses from 15 games. They have a similar form in front of goal (14 goals scored) to those in the relegation zone (e.g. Norwich City - 14 goals, Sheffield Wednesday - 12 goals).
This pair have met 72 times in their history, WBA have won exactly 50% of those fixtures with 36 wins, Cov have 19 wins, and there have been 17 draws. Before their win earlier this year Coventry had lost four straight games against the Baggies, scoring just one goal, highlighting how their fortunes have changed under Lampard.

Football Park’s Best Bet: Coventry to Win @ 1.75 - Our team of in-house betting tipsters have predicted a Coventry win in this fixture. Their superior form, home advantage, and head-to-head record justify confidence in this selection.
Haji Wright (Coventry City): The USMNT forward started the season strongly and still has more than enough reasons to be one to watch, however goals have dried up in recent weeks. Perhaps a questionable West Brom defence will be enough to reignite his habits in front of the net.
Brandon Thomas-Asante (West Bromwich Albion): Joining Wright in attack is another international striker, this time Ghana’s, who has an eye for goal. Scoring 10 already in the league this season. That includes 5 in his last 7.
