West Brom v Coventry predictions

The battle for a Championship playoff berth is again set to go down to the wire this season, and two teams either side of the dotted line meet at the Hawthorns on Friday night.

Hosts West Brom are five points better off than Midlands rivals Coventry, having collected 11 points from their last six matches. 

The fifth-placed Baggies have taken points off promotion hopefuls Ipswich and Hull in that time and 11 of their 16 league victories this term have come in the Black Country.

However, Coventry, in ninth, are a competent bunch on their travels, avoiding defeat in ten of their 17 away league games, and they should be brimming with confidence after Monday night's 5-0 mauling of non-league Maidstone in the fifth round of the FA Cup.

Ellis Simms netted a first-half hat-trick as the Sky Blues rolled over the Stones, which should have boosted his confidence, and the Sky Blues have beaten leaders Leicester and drawn with Leeds and Southampton since early December.

Cases can be made for both of these sides but, with injuries curtailing West Brom's attacking threat and Coventry drawing 12 times in the Championship this season, a stalemate looks a big runner.

Key stat

Coventry have drawn 12 games in the Championship this term.
