Coventry City are gradually losing faith in their chances of making the playoffs, with only four games remaining in the season. They were held to a 1-1 draw in their last match against Hull City, with Matt Grimes scoring the first goal of the game in the 46th minute before Abu Kamara equalised in the 82nd minute. After this game, they still have crucial games to play, including games against Plymouth and Luton, who are both fighting relegation, and against Middlesbrough, who are in playoff contention. The Sky Blues have won just two of their last six games, but they have been impressive at home, with five wins in their previous six games. They sit sixth on the table with 63 points in 42 games, scoring 59 goals and conceding 54.
Coventry: Lineup
Frank Lampard will likely use the same starting 11 in their game against Hull City because the squad has no fresh injury issues. Bradley Collins will remain between the sticks for The Sky Blues to replace injured Oliver Dovin, who has now missed three straight games due to a knee injury. Also, the team will still be without Victor Torp for the remainder of the season due to an ankle injury after he was subbed off in the 22nd minute of the game against Portsmouth, and Ben Sheaf has since taken his place.
🔖 Coventry City starting lineup (4-3-3)
Goalkeeper – Bradley Collins
Defenders – Jay Dasilva, Liam Kitching, Joel Latibeaudiere, Milan van Ewijk
Midfielders – Matt Grimes, Jack Rudoni, Ben Sheaf
Attackers — Haji Wright, Ellis Simms, Tatsuhiro Sakamoto
⛔️ Out: Raphael Borges Rodrigues (muscle), Josh Eccles (unknown), Ben Wilson (knee), Brandon Thomas-Asante (groin), Jack Rudoni (shoulder).

West Brom: Form and statistics
West Brom are not playing like a team ready for promotion after their recent show. They spent most of the season in the top six but had recently dropped form, and based on their current form, they may find themselves in the Championship next season. The Baggies will still face Derby, Cardiff, and Luton in the season's remaining fixtures, but the question remains: How many of these games can they win? The Albion returned to winning ways in their last game with a 2-1 win over Watford after they had gone five straight games without a win. On the road, they are winless in their last 14 games in all competitions. They sit 7th on the table with 60 points in 42 games, scoring 51 goals and conceding 39. They are three points out of the playoff zone, and a win for them in this clash will send them to 6th on the table, same points with Coventry, but a goal superiority will give them the position.
West Brom: Lineup
Joe Wildsmith has recently been dropped from the starting lineup, with Josh Griffiths taking his place in their recent two games. I expect the 23-year-old Griffiths to continue his fine form in goal. Semi Ajayi and Josh Maja remain long absentees for this side. Jayson Molumby will miss his second game due to suspension after receiving a red card in the 89th minute of the match against Bristol City. With no fresh injury concerns, I expect Mark Mowbray to stick with the same starting lineup he used in defeating Watford in their last game.
🔖 West Brom starting lineup (4-3-3)
Goalkeeper – Josh Griffiths
Defenders – Darnell Furlong, Kyle Bartley, Torbjørn Heggem, Callum Styles
Midfielders – Tom Fellows, Alex Mowatt, Isaac Price
Attackers — Michael Johnston, Will Lankshear, Karlan Grant
⛔️ Out: Semi Ajayi (hamstring injury), Ousmane Diakite (ankle injury), Jed Wallace (calf injury), Josh Oluwaseun Maja (calf injury), Jayson Molumby (red card).
👤 Head coach: Anthony Mark Mowbray

Coventry City vs West Bromwich Albion match prediction 18 April 2025
Both teams need this win to increase their chances of finishing among the top six teams, but West Brom's form on the road is really concerning. Playing against Frank Lampard’s team also adds to their worries. The Albion are winless in their last 14 games in all competitions, and I don’t expect a miracle to happen in this clash. However, I expect them to score a consolation goal.
Our prediction for this match is Both Teams To Score (BTTS) for 1.77 odds on Betway.
Our second betting tip on the match is a win for Coventry at 2.20 odds on Bet365.
Our final betting tip on the match is to see three or more goals at 1.94 on 1xbet.
