David Prutton’s EFL predictions – 11th February

David Prutton’s EFL predictions are out and the Sky Sports pundit has given his verdict which never fails to be controversial with many Twitter users reacting to it.

The former Nottingham Forest, Southampton, Leeds, Swindon, Sheffield Wednesday and England U21 footballer who currently works as a presenter, pundit and commentator has given his thoughts on the outcome of all twelve Championship matches. See what he went with below and on the next few pages…

SWANSEA v QPR

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

He said: “As soon as you think Swansea are starting to get somewhere, they seem to stumble and fall a little bit further away from promotion contention. They were unfortunate to lose to the odd goal in five against Derby, but with QPR looking to end a run of four straight losses, I have a feeling this may end all-square.”

 

BARNSLEY v BIRMINGHAM

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

He said: “Gerhard Struber worked wonders when he first came to Barnsley and in December they looked to be heading for safety after some really impressive performances, before momentum slipped in the last month. I was really impressed with how Birmingham battled back against Bristol City on Friday and I think a win for them at Oakwell could make Blues fans sleep a little easier.”

 

BLACKBURN v HULL

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

He said: “Losing Bradley Dack to long-term injury really does seem to have put Rovers’ play-off hunt in jeopardy recently. Rovers’ star man has been out since before Christmas and they’ve won just two of the eight games that have followed.

“Hull’s campaign appears to be heading in the same direction after they lost not only Kamil Grosicki but Jarrod Bowen too on Deadline Day. They secured their first point since the double departure against Reading, but I don’t think they’ll have enough here.”

 

BRENTFORD v LEEDS

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

He said: “For me, this is the standout fixture this midweek. Brentford showed their battling spirit to beat Middlesbrough and close on the top two on Saturday, while Leeds were comprehensively beaten away at Nottingham Forest – how much longer will their slump last?

“Marcelo Bielsa’s men won’t have happy memories of their last trip to Griffin Park, when a 2-0 defeat in April all but ended their hopes of automatic promotion to the Premier League, and I think they may leave disappointed once more.”

 

NOTT’M FOREST v CHARLTON

The score David Prutton has predicted for this game is: 2-0

He said: “Forest certainly made themselves heard on Saturday night, both on and off the pitch. The players were tireless and clinical, the fans loud and proud so let’s put them firmly in the automatic promotion chat. They’ve closed the gap on second with a statement victory against a stuttering Leeds and I thoroughly expect the same again on Tuesday night.”

 

WIGAN v MIDDLESBROUGH

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

He said: “Wigan’s narrow defeat to Preston at the weekend brought hopes of a third successive victory to an end, but should they win a couple of games over the next few weeks, Paul Cook will certainly fancy his side’s chances of retaining their Championship status.

“Boro perhaps aren’t picking up the points their displays deserve at the moment and I feel Jonathan Woodgate’s men might be edged out here. They are still not safe despite their recent revival so defeat will not be welcome on Teesside.”

 

BRISTOL CITY v DERBY

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

He said: “As has been the case for much of the last few years, Bristol City have been much better away from home but they will be eager to put things right at Ashton Gate after falling out of the top six after that disappointing defeat to Birmingham.

“Derby have been pretty hit-and-miss for most of the season, but since Wayne Rooney’s debut they’ve won seven of the last nine in all competitions and will no doubt have their eyes on a late drive for the play-offs.”

 

MILLWALL v FULHAM

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

He said: “Did you see those conditions at The Den on Sunday?! Storm Ciara certainly took centre stage in the Lions’ defeat to West Brom. It’s been a tough few weeks for Gary Rowett’s men, but they are still within touching distance of the top six, largely thanks to their home form.

“Fulham will be tough opponents, that’s for sure. Their defensive record speaks for itself, but though they seem to be doing enough to keep pace at the top of the table, they’ve not won by more than a one-goal margin since November and I feel they could slip here.”

 

HUDDERSFIELD v CARDIFF

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

 

LUTON v SHEFFIELD WED

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

 

READING v WEST BROM

David Prutton’s EFL predictions for this game is: 1-2

 

STOKE v PRESTON

David Prutton’s EFL predictions for this game is: 1-2

2 1 that’s generous to Leeds to even score more like 3 or 4 0
