David Prutton’s EFL predictions – 14th 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…

HULL v SWANSEA

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

He said: “Hull seem to be in free-fall at the minute. They were on a bad run before Kamil Grosicki and Jarrod Bowen left, now it looks like they have no confidence whatsoever.

“Swansea have fallen off a bit, too. The arrivals of Conor Gallagher and Rhian Brewster haven’t quite inspired them so far. This could do either way, but I’ll narrowly back Hull.”

 

WEST BROM v NOTT’M FOREST

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

He said: “West Brom are right back on it. Three wins on the spin, including in tough trips to Millwall and Reading, have sent them clear at the top.

“Sabri Lamouchi essentially sacrificed the game against Charlton to prepare for this, which means the pressure is on to get a win here.”

 

BIRMINGHAM v BRENTFORD

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

He said: “Birmingham are sneaking back up the table, having won three games in a row. They seem to be getting the best out of Scott Hogan, too. Brentford missed an opportunity against Leeds in midweek but are still right in the thick of the battle. Draw here for me.”

 

DERBY v HUDDERSFIELD

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

He said: “Derby are fantastic at home and not so good away, so they will be delighted to be back at Pride Park on Saturday! Huddersfield are lacking consistency, which is why they are still languishing near the relegation zone. Home win.”

 

FULHAM v BARNSLEY

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

He said: “Fulham would have been frustrated to draw at Millwall in midweek, but it could have been a lot worse. Barnsley won this reverse fixture on the opening day, but haven’t had too much joy since. I can’t see them getting anything at Craven Cottage.”

 

LEEDS v BRISTOL CITY

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

He said: “Marcelo Bielsa said he will stick with Kiko Casilla in goal, even though his confidence looks so low and he could probably do with being taken out of the firing line. Bristol City got a good win against Derby in midweek, and would snap your hand off for a draw at Elland Road.”

 

MIDDLESBROUGH v LUTON

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

He said: “Middlesbrough haven’t won in a while, but they aren’t losing too many at the minute either. This is a chance to get back to winning ways against a Luton side who won in midweek but have a dreadful away record. I have a feeling they could nick a draw here, though.”

 

PRESTON v MILLWALL

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

He said: “Preston are proving a few wrong by getting on a good run again and getting back into the thick of the relegation battle. Millwall have had a tough run of games, and it doesn’t get much trickier than a trip to Deepdale. It will be a battle, but Preston will prevail.”

 

CARDIFF v WIGAN

David Prutton’s EFL predictions for this game is: 1-0

 

CHARLTON v BLACKBURN

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

 

QPR v STOKE

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

 

SHEFFIELD WED v READING

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