David Prutton’s EFL score predictions

Sky Sports pundit David Prutton has given his predictions for some Football League 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 score predictions on FOURTEEN matches.

Twelve of the fixtures are from the Championship and one each from League One and League Two.

After looking at majority of his predictions, it’s found that he’s rather accurate and that if you put the scores he’s gone with into a table, it is very similar to the current standings.

See what he went with below and on the next few pages…

DERBY v CARDIFF

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

He said on Sky Sports’ website: “It is not looking so good for Derby and Phillip Cocu. It is five without a win now and he really got stuck into his team after they were thrashed by Brentford before the international break.

“Cardiff have had more of a mixed start and Neil Warnock seems to be lacking a bit of a spark at the minute. There is a bit of recent history in this fixture, though, and Warnock is not one to quickly forget such a thing! I fancy them to nick a win.”

 

FULHAM v WEST BROM

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

He said on Sky Sports’ website: “Two of the best attacking units in the division meet at Craven Cottage! Both sides will have their sights set on automatic promotion and will approach every game this season with the intention to win.

“Neither has had the most consistent start, which is to be expected after a relegation for one and a change of manager for the other. I fancy goals, but I can’t split the pair.”

 

STOKE v BRISTOL CITY

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

He said on Sky Sports’ website: “This is a big, big game for Nathan Jones. He has had two weeks of the international break to sort Stoke out, and the home fans will be expecting a big performance.

“Bristol City were in decent form themselves before the international break but are lacking Benik Afobe for this one – as he can’t play against his parent club. I reckon this one will be low scoring, and I fancy Lee Johnson’s side to edge it.”

 

SWANSEA v NOTT’M FOREST

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

He said on Sky Sports’ website: “What an exceptional start it has been for Swansea, capped off by that impressive late win at Leeds before the international break. It has been a dream for Steve Cooper in his first senior management role.

“Nottingham Forest have been ticking along under Sabri Lamouchi but an inability to get back-to-back wins in the Championship seems to be holding them back at the minute. Score draw for me.”

 

HUDDERSFIELD v SHEFF WED

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

He said on Sky Sports’ website: “Two new managers at the John Smith’s Stadium on Sunday. What a moment this will be for Danny Cowley and his brother Nicky, managing a side that were in the Premier League last season, having been PE teachers and part-time managers just a few years ago.

“In the opposite dugout will be Garry Monk, who, apart from perhaps his time at Middlesbrough, has left every club he has been at in a better position than where he found it. I think he will be a very good fit at Sheffield Wednesday and he will start with a win. Just!”
