Two records that West Brom must end to extend their season, one hasn’t happened since September

West Bromwich Albion face their biggest test of the season as they make the short trip to the Coventry Building Society Arena to face Coventry City.

A record attendance is expected in Coventry, with both sides heavily involved in the ding-dong battle for the Championship play-off places.

Tony Mowbray’s side can leapfrog the Sky Blues with a win thanks to their superior goal difference but West Brom will have to end their Good Friday hoodoo, where they have a terrible record.

It isn’t just the Good Friday nightmare that they’ll want to end either, with two more problems they need to solve.

West Brom aiming to end two nightmares in Coventry City clash

At this point of the season, form tends to go out of the window. It’s all about the here and now. But, West Brom can’t ignore this current form.

Ahead of the short trip on Friday, the Baggies will know that they haven’t won back-to-back games since September and failed to win on the road since November.

No pressure then…

Mowbray believes that West Brom can win every game remaining this season and if they did, not only would they end those two runs, they would finish in the top six and extend their season for another further two games at least.

What are West Brom’s remaining fixtures?

With only four games of the season to go, there isn’t long for Mowbray’s prediction to come to fruition.

On paper, Albion have a relatively kind fixture list, however, all three teams after Coventry are embroiled in the relegation battle.

Defeat to Coventry would also mean that the Baggies only have one more opportunity to win on the road when they face Cardiff on 26 April.

A lot to play for, but little time to get it right.
