Coventry City is set to host West Brom on Tuesday at Coventry Building Society Arena. The home team are pushing for the top half of the table after giving away a three-goal lead in the last game. West Brom is looking for their sixth successive victory in the Championship. Who will come out on top after 90 minutes? 

Coventry City’s Form

Coventry is sitting in 14th place in the EFL Championship table and is pushing for the top half of the table. They have secured 30 points from 21 games in this competition so far. Their last performance against Swansea was a game of two halves. They were 3-0 up at the hour's mark but the Swansea team came back to draw the game at the end of 90 minutes. The Sky blues have undergone a transformation this season, the once relegation-threatened side is now pushing for promotion. The host will be looking to secure all three points ahead of a congested football calendar.

Like Coventry, West Brom has been on a positive trajectory after the initial dip. Carlos Corberan has worked wonders after joining as the new head coach.

The baggies are also looking for a promotion with half of the season left to play. They are sitting in 16th place, one point and two places adrift of their Wednesday rivals.
