Coventry City v West Brom Betting Tips [4 December 2021]

The race for playoff spots is on and that will largely inform the approach in the Coventry City and West Bromwich Albion game in the Championship. Coventry will be the hosts here, and they go to the game placed sixth with 33 points while West Bromwich Albion have 34 points, in fourth place. Coventry have no win in their last three matches but approach this game unbeaten in their last four. They’ve failed to score in two of the last three matches and in the last game, they did score twice but these came in the final five minutes in a 2-2 draw with 10-man Bournemouth. That was just one of two matches they’ve managed more than a goal in the last eight.

It is over a decade since West Brom last played Coventry competitively. The last time they faced off was in the Championship in 2010, but they’ve played two friendly matches in between. Going to this game, West Brom’s credentials as a promotion candidate have come under serious scrutiny. They have no win in the last four matches and failed to score in the last three. In their last six matches, they haven’t managed more than a goal, though they have three clean sheets in the last five matches. Each of their last five matches has produced under 2.5 goals. West Brom’s away run has been deteriorating; in the last five in the Championship, they have four losses and failed to score in four. They have just one goal in five away matches in the league.

Both these sides haven’t won much of their recent matches and have particularly been low scorers. They will go to this game with a cautious approach even as either side seeks the advantage that would keep them in the top six. In six straight matches, West Brom haven’t managed more than a goal, while Coventry have failed to score in two of their last three matches. A low scoring affair is on the cards here with the expected approach, so go for under 2.5 goals.
