West Brom vs Coventry: Our top betting predictions

West Brom have been really strong at the Hawthorns of late. Will they continue that fine home form here as they host Coventry? Find out with our West Brom vs Coventry match preview with free tips, predictions and odds mentioned along the way.

West Brom will win

We kick off our predictions for this game by backing West Brom to win and, quite frankly, the odds on offer are really good value in our eyes too. The Baggies are in a sensational run of form at home having won each of their last six games whilst Coventry have lost each of their last three on the road. It's not all about the recent form of the teams though; West Brom have the edge where the head to head record is concerned too. Of the last five meetings between these teams at the Hawthorns, West Brom have won three and drawn one.

Coventry could blank

For our second prediction we're backing West Brom to keep a clean sheet – or more to the point, we are backing Coventry not to score as we bet on the away goals to be under 0.5. The form of both sides heavily plays into this logic used. West Brom have not just won each of their last six home games but they've kept a clean sheet in all of them. Coventry meanwhile have failed to score in half of their last 10 away games with two of those blanks coming in their last three games and they've failed to find in the net in three of their last five visits to West Brom! When you then consider there is potential of Viktor Gyokeres's mindset being hit by deadline day links to Premier League clubs and there is a lot of reasons why the Sky Blues might have little to celebrate.

So, that gives you some insight to how the different bookmakers see the action unfolding. How though do the bookies odds translate into probabilities ahead of this game and how might that impact your view of our predictions? Let's find out.

West Brom odds: 4/5 (1.80) – 56%

Draw odds: 5/2 (3.50) – 29%

Coventry odds: 7/2 (4.50) – 22%

West Brom arrive into this game as the favourites and are odds on too, which tells you the bookies are pretty confident that they'll get the job done. A Coventry win by contrast does not appear to remotely on the bookies thoughts. There are plenty of markets where bookmakers are less confident about the outcome though. The both teams to score and over/under 2.5 goals market both come with the respective betting options bring odds on.

Check out the predicted lineups ahead of West Brom vs Coventry

West Brom

West Brom have been great at home but their last couple of games have been away and results have suffered. They'll be looking to go with a lineup close to that started against Burnley a week or so again and, this time, they need to go out and control.

Predicted lineup – Palmer, O'Shea, Furlong, Pieters, Townsend, Yokuslu, Molumby, Wallace, Swift, Phillips, Dike

Coventry

Coventry's big talking point ahead of this game is Viktoria Gyokeres. He's their top scorer but after deadline day attention is he ready to go so soon? We think he'll definitely start the game but where his head is at we don't know. Beyond his inclusion, the Sky Blues will need to change something up from previous away games having lost three on the spin.

Predicted lineup – Wilson, McNally, Doyle, Panzo, Sheaf, Hamer, Eccles, Bidwell, Palmer, Gyokeres, Godden

Player to watch

He's already been mentioned a couple of times but it really is hard to look beyond Viktor Gyokeres. Sure, we've backed his team to blank and to lose but the Coventry forward is a really special talent hence the Premier League interest. Even without his goal scoring talents being on show, his movement and the way he works a backline is something to appreciate…as long as his head is in the right place.
