David Prutton’s EFL Boxing Day predictions

Sky Sports pundit David Prutton has given his predictions for this Boxing Day’s EFL fixtures.

The former Nottingham Forest, Southampton, Leeds, Swindon, Sheffield Wednesday and England U21 footballer who currently works as a presenter, pundit and commentator has given scores on all Championship games. See what he went with below and on the next page…

BARNSLEY v WEST BROM

The score David Prutton has predicted for this game is: 1-2

He said: “Are Barnsley fans starting to believe they can stay up now? Gerhard Struber has really turned things around and now they are just a point from safety heading into Boxing Day.

West Brom have been held twice in their last three games, but are still unbeaten in a long time and have 11 points between themselves and third. If they do keep dropping points, though, then that gap with close up quickly… but I think they’ll get back to winning ways at Oakwell.”

BRENTFORD v SWANSEA

The score David Prutton has predicted for this game is: 3-1

He said: “Brentford head coach Thomas Frank was extremely disappointed to come away with just a point from West Brom on Saturday, which shows how high their aspirations are this season.

“Swansea have recorded back-to-back wins and seem to be back on an upward trajectory. This is a tough game for them, however, and I can’t see them getting anything.”

CARDIFF v MILLWALL

The score David Prutton has predicted for this game is: 2-1

He said: “Cardiff have just slipped down the table again after failing to win their last three, but they have had some tough games in that time and are still within touching distance of the play-offs.

“Millwall boss Gary Rowett suffered his first defeat since the start of November against resurgent Barnsley on Saturday, and will be desperate to bounce back. But I can’t see them getting anything in South Wales.”

CHARLTON v BRISTOL CITY

The score David Prutton has predicted for this game is: 1-1

He said: “January can’t come quickly enough for Lee Bowyer and Charlton. They have drawn their last two to arrest their slump, but are still so stretched and badly need a win.

“Bristol City do as well. They have lost three in a row and look bereft of confidence at the minute. I’ll back them here to bounce back with a draw.”

LUTON v FULHAM

The score David Prutton has predicted for this game is: 0-1

He said: “Luton have lost three in a row and are slipping dangerously close to the relegation zone. They look short of goals and can’t stop conceding either.

“Fulham got a huge, huge win against Leeds at the weekend. It keeps them just about within touch of the top two and ended a dreadful run of three defeats. I think they’ll win again on Boxing Day because they should have too much quality for Luton.”

LEEDS v PRESTON

The score David Prutton has predicted for this game is: 1-1

He said: “Leeds have drawn and lost their last two games. But any fan of the club would have bitten your hand off to be nine points clear on Boxing Day.

“If Preston win this one they could be right back in the battle for an automatic-promotion spot. It will be a battle and I think they could leave Elland Road with a point.”
