Coventry vs West Brom: Predictions, Betting odds, Lineups, Preview

Explore Ladbrokes' detailed preview for Coventry vs West Brom in the Championship. Stats, odds, predictions, and lineups for the 12:30 GMT match.

• Fixture: Coventry vs West Brom
• Date: Saturday, 22 November 2025
• Kick-off: 12:30 GMT
• Venue: Coventry Building Society Arena

Coventry's recent form has been impressive, with four wins in their last five games, showing they're in good spirits and playing with confidence. They've been particularly strong at home, scoring three goals in each of their last two home matches, which suggests they could dominate possession and create plenty of scoring opportunities against West Brom. On the other hand, West Brom have had a mixed bag, with only one win in their last five games, which might make them a bit more cautious and defensive in their approach.

However, West Brom's recent win against Oxford United shows they can still be dangerous, especially with their attacking trio of Price, Johnston, and Maja. If they can exploit any defensive lapses from Coventry, they might be able to nick a goal or two. But given Coventry's current form and home advantage, it's likely they'll have the upper hand and control the game's tempo.

Coventry are coming into this match with a strong run of form, having won four out of their last five games. Their recent victories, especially the convincing wins against Sheffield United and Watford at home, indicate they're in good shape and should be confident going into this game. The only blip was a narrow loss to Wrexham away, but overall, their attacking play has been sharp, and they've shown they can score goals consistently. This positive momentum could be crucial against West Brom, as Coventry will look to continue their winning streak and capitalise on their home advantage. With players like Wright and Sakamoto in fine form, they have the firepower to trouble any defence, and their midfield has been solid in controlling games.

Recent Championship Results:

• Win: 1-0 vs Stoke City (A)

• Win: 3-1 vs Sheffield Utd (H)

• Loss: 2-3 vs Wrexham (A)

• Win: 3-1 vs Watford (H)

• Win: 2-1 vs Portsmouth (A)

West Brom's recent form has been less convincing, with only one win in their last five games. Their victory against Oxford United at home was a positive note, but losses to Charlton, Ipswich, and Watford, along with a draw against Sheffield Wednesday, suggest they've struggled to find consistency. This could impact their confidence going into the match against a strong Coventry side. However, West Brom have shown they can be competitive, especially with their attacking options. If they can tighten up their defence and capitalise on any opportunities, they might be able to pull off a surprise result. But they'll need to be at their best to overcome Coventry's current form.

Recent Championship Results:

• Win: 2-1 vs Oxford United (H)

• Loss: 0-1 vs Charlton (A)

• Draw: 0-0 vs Sheffield Wednesday (H)

• Loss: 0-1 vs Ipswich (A)

• Loss: 1-2 vs Watford (A)

The head-to-head record between Coventry and West Brom has been closely contested recently, but shows a clear advantage for West Brom overall. The most recent match saw Coventry triumph 2-0 at home, while West Brom won their previous home game 2-0. This suggests that both teams have the capability to win, but home advantage might play a significant role in the outcome.

Coventry's predicted lineup suggests they'll continue with their solid 4-4-2 formation, focusing on midfield control with Grimes and Torp, while Sakamoto and Mason-Clark provide width and creativity. With Wright leading the attack, they'll look to exploit any gaps in West Brom's defence and maintain their recent scoring form.

• Predicted lineup: Griffiths (GK), Gilchrist (DF), Phillips (DF), Taylor (DF), Styles (MF), Diakite (MF), Mowatt (MF), Grant (MF), Price (MF), Johnston (MF), Maja (AT)

West Brom's predicted 4-2-3-1 formation indicates they'll aim to balance defence and attack, with Diakite and Mowatt anchoring the midfield. Their attacking trio of Price, Johnston, and Maja will be crucial in breaking down Coventry's defence and looking for opportunities on the counter.

• Brandon Thomas-Asante vs Charlie Taylor : This will be a key battle between Coventry's prolific striker and West Brom's experienced defender.

• Matt Grimes vs Ousmane Diakite: The midfield duel between Coventry's controlling presence and West Brom's energetic midfielder could dictate the flow of the game.

• Tatsuhiro Sakamoto (Coventry): Sakamoto's creativity and ability to unlock defences make him a vital player for Coventry's attacking play.

• Mikey Johnston (West Brom): Johnston's ingenuity and work rate in midfield will be essential for West Brom to disrupt Coventry's rhythm and launch attacks.
