Two Championship sides separated by only three points in the English second division meet on Friday afternoon as Coventry play host to West Bromwich Albion.
Coventry's promotion hopes have suffered a major setback in recent weeks. The visitors boast just one win from their last four games, a run that has seen them pick up just four points, but they are lucky to still be in the play-off places.
West Bromwich's form has also been less than stellar in recent weeks. The Baggies visited Watford last weekend hoping to end a five-game winless streak, and they did just that. Tony Mowbray's side managed to take all three points despite having less than 40% of possession with a 2-1 win, and will be hoping for a similar performance this week.
Coventry vs West Bromwich Albion Betting Tips: Under 2.5 goals
Meetings between Coventry and West Bromwich are renowned for being very close affairs. At least one side failed to score in five of the last six games, with the same number of games ending with less than 2.5 goals.
West Bromwich have also struggled to find the net in recent weeks. The Albion have scored more than once in just one of their last eight Championship games, but the good news is that they didn't concede many goals in that time.
Tony Mowbray’s side conceded under one goal in all but one of the eight fixtures, with bets on under 2.5 goals winning in as many games.
- Best Tip: Under 2.5 goals

Coventry team news
Coventry will be without the services of midfielder Victor Torp for the remainder of the season due to injury.
Victor lasted just 22 minutes against Portsmouth over a week ago before being taken off with what is believed to be an ankle injury.
The absence of the Danish professional means that Ben Sheaf could make his 26th appearance in the Championship this season, while Haji Wright will continue to lead the line.
Raphael Borges Rodrigues (muscle), Ben Wilson (knee) and Jack Rudoni (shoulder) are the other injury concerns for Coventry this week.

West Bromwich Albion team news
Josh Maja has missed West Bromwich's last 17 games with a calf injury and Friday's game will come too soon for the striker.
Jayson Molumby will serve the second of his three-match ban for his red card at Bristol City, but the visitors don't have any other injury concerns.
