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…
FULHAM v MIDDLESBROUGH
The score David Prutton has predicted for this game is: 2-1
He said on Sky Sports’ website: “The door is starting to open for Fulham. West Brom and Leeds are dropping points and now they need to go on a run to really put that pressure on.
“This would have been a much easier-looking game a couple of months ago, but Middlesbrough have improved magnificently under Jonathan Woodgate. They will fancy their chances, but I fancy Fulham to sneak it.”

QPR v LEEDS
The score David Prutton has predicted for this game is: 1-1
He said on Sky Sports’ website: “It’s safe to say QPR were blown away by Brentford last Saturday. It will happen to a few teams for the rest of the season, but it will hurt that much more because it was their fierce rivals inflicting it.
“Leeds have stuttered of late and their fans will be starting to worry that they could repeat the slump that saw them falter last season. Draw here for me.”

HUDDERSFIELD v BRENTFORD
The score David Prutton has predicted for this game is: 1-1
He said on Sky Sports’ website: “Three defeats in four for Huddersfield, all to teams near them in the table, will be of real concern to Danny Cowley. They were so poor at Barnsley last Saturday.
“Brentford, meanwhile, were brilliant against QPR. This is the kind of game they simply have to win if they are to catch the top two, but I feel like they might slip up.”

MILLWALL v READING
The score David Prutton has predicted for this game is: 2-1
He said on Sky Sports’ website: “Millwall are edging closer to the play-offs and look like they could be real contenders for a top-six spot.
“Reading gained a draw in a remarkable game at Nottingham Forest last Saturday. It ended their winning run but it was still a good point for Mark Bowen’s side in the circumstances. I think their streak might end on Saturday.”

NOTT’M FOREST v LUTON
The score David Prutton has predicted for this game is: 2-1
He said on Sky Sports’ website: “Nottingham Forest are back in decent nick, but will be gutted they couldn’t hold on to victory against Reading last week after scoring themselves so late. Those could be a huge two points come the end of the season.
“Luton are struggling. Most clubs in their position would have rolled the dice by now, but they have faith that Graeme Jones is still the right man for them. I don’t see them getting anything on Sunday, though.”

WEST BROM v STOKE
The score David Prutton has predicted for this game is: 3-1
He said on Sky Sports’ website: “West Brom will have to sit and watch all their promotion rivals all weekend before playing on Monday night, and that in itself could add a little pressure if that gap squeezes up again. They are without a win in five now.
“Stoke are still in the thick of a relegation battle, but at least they are picking up points more consistently under Michael O’Neill. But I doubt they have enough to trouble the Baggies.”

BOLTON v PORTSMOUTH
The score David Prutton has predicted for this game is: 0-2
He said on Sky Sports’ website: “Bolton have dropped off again since Boxing Day, and have lost their last three on the spin – conceding 11 goals in the process. They are playing for pride now this season, and to try and build towards their next campaign in League Two.
“Portsmouth are right up in the promotion mix now. A win on Saturday could well see them move into the top six, and the top two are in sight as well. They should claim all three points here.”

GRIMSBY v EXETER
The score David Prutton has predicted for this game is: 1-3
He said on Sky Sports’ website: “It’s great to see my old friend Ian Holloway back in management! You can already see the passion he has for the job at Grimsby, and his first few results haven’t been too bad either.
“Exeter are right up there pushing for automatic promotion. Both they and Swindon are starting to pull away from the rest, but that can quickly change. I don’t think it will change on Saturday, however. Away win.”
