For the third consecutive year, WBA is competing in the Championship in the 2023/24 season. Currently, they are ranked fifth on the table and are aspiring for a playoff promotion. Remarkably, WBA has only suffered one defeat in their last six games. In their most recent match, they held Hull to a 1-1 draw on their home ground. Despite the draw, WBA arguably deserved more points from the match, as they achieved an expected goals (xG) of 1.10, compared to Hull’s 0.57.
Coventry hasn’t participated in the Premier League since 2001. However, they are currently only four points away from the playoff zone this season, meaning Mark Robins’ team still has the opportunity to slip into the playoffs. Like WBA, Coventry has only lost one of their last six games. In their last match, they had a 5-0 victory over Maidstone in the FA Cup at home. Given that the visiting team plays in the sixth tier of English football, Coventry didn’t face a particularly challenging task to advance to the next round.
WBA vs Coventry pick: WBA to win
WBA boasts one of the Championship’s best home records (11-3-3). They have also secured a victory in the only head-to-head match against Coventry this season. Therefore, betting on WBA to win this match seems like the most promising wager.

WBA team news
Carlos Corberan, WBA’s head coach, expressed satisfaction following a draw against Hull. He was particularly pleased with the team scoring yet another goal from a set-piece. He further emphasized that they are consistently seeking innovative means to score.
WBA isn’t overly concerned with absent players. They will be missing Josh Maja, Matt Phillips, Daryl Dike, and Brandon Thomas-Asante for the game against Coventry. The issue isn’t the quantity of players, but rather that all four are attackers. Nevertheless, the head coach confirmed they are continually exploring new scoring strategies.
