Round 9 of the English Championship will see Coventry looking for their first victory since the recess for the World Cup as they host West Bromwich in a round 9 game. Both games are in mid table and need good results in order to contend in the higher part of the standings, so a good game can be expected. Our suggestion is for a home win or draw.

Coventry is coming to this game with thirst of revenge, as they slipped away a 3-0 advantage in their last game to end up in a 3-3 draw against Swansea. This way, they could not grab their first win since the restart of the tournament after the World Cup recess, as they had previously lost to Coventry by 1-0. Now, the team's focus will be in ending this streak as soon as possible.

In this sense, playing home can truly be a booster for them, as they have not lost playing in front of their crowd in their last four games, with three wins an a draw. All those victories came with a clean sheet, so playing tough defense can be a key factor in order to grab three points. The squad currently sits in the fourteenth spot of the standings, although only four points separate them from the promotion zone, so a good result streak can put them in the high part of the table.

On the other hand, West Bromwich is a team in the rise. After a tough start of the season, where results were not the desired ones, they have found their form in recent weeks and have now won five games in a row, their best streak in the last five years. Nevertheless, they are still to find this regularity when playing away, as less than 50% of their points have been grabbed on the road.

英格兰足球锦标赛第9轮，考文垂将在主场迎战西布朗维奇，寻求世界杯休会以来的首胜。这两场比赛都在中游，需要好的成绩才能在较高的积分榜上竞争，所以一场精彩的比赛是可以期待的。我们的建议是主场赢球或打平。

考文垂带着复仇的渴望来到这场比赛，他们在上一场比赛中以3-0的优势悄悄溜走，最终以3-3战平斯旺西。这样，他们就无法在世界杯休会后重新开始比赛后获得第一场胜利，因为他们之前以1-0输给了考文垂。现在，球队的重点将是尽快结束这一连胜。

从这个意义上说，主场比赛对他们来说真的是一种助推器，因为他们在过去四场比赛中在观众面前没有输过，取得了3胜1平的成绩。所有这些胜利都是在零封对手的情况下取得的，所以为了拿到三分，顽强的防守是一个关键因素。这支球队目前排在积分榜第14位，虽然他们与升级区只有4分的差距，所以一个好的成绩可以让他们排在积分榜的前列。

另一方面，西布朗维奇是一支正在崛起的球队。在经历了一个艰难的赛季开始后，结果并不是理想的，他们在最近几周找到了状态，现在已经取得了五连胜，这是他们过去五年里最好的一场比赛。然而，他们在客场比赛时仍然没有发现这种规律，因为他们的积分只有不到50%是在客场获得的。
