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…
BARNSLEY v BRISTOL CITY
The score David Prutton has predicted for this game is: 1-2
He said on Sky Sports’ website: “Performances may have improved slightly for Barnsley since the departure of Daniel Stendel, but results haven’t yet. They are still bottom of the Championship and without a win since the opening day of the season.
“Bristol City are right in the thick of the battle for the play-offs, it is just about whether they can last the course this time around. They should have enough to beat Barnsley.”
WIGAN v SWANSEA
The score David Prutton has predicted for this game is: 1-1
He said on Sky Sports’ website: “Wigan will be delighted to be back on home turf after a couple of tough away trips where they have been so unfortunately denied points late in the day. First at Derby, then at Bristol City.
“Swansea got a massive win over their rivals Cardiff on Sunday, which would have been vital to their confidence after such a dip in performances lately. Draw here for me.”
BRENTFORD v HUDDERSFIELD
The score David Prutton has predicted for this game is: 2-2
He said on Sky Sports’ website: “Are we seeing the real Brentford now? Three wins on the spin and it looks as though they are on a real upward trajectory.
“Huddersfield are as well. They are out of the relegation zone now and seemingly on the up under the Cowley brothers. They will make it tough for Brentford and possibly nick a draw.”
LEEDS v QPR
The score David Prutton has predicted for this game is: 1-1
He said on Sky Sports’ website: “There was more frustration for Leeds at Sheffield Wednesday last week, where neither Patrick Bamford in the first half nor Eddie Nketiah in the second could find a route to goal.
“QPR are leaky at the back, but also score plenty at the other end. They will take the game to Leeds and I think they could get something at Elland Road.”
CHARLTON v PRESTON
The score David Prutton has predicted for this game is: 1-1
He said on Sky Sports’ website: “That was a cracking draw for Charlton at West Brom last week, to nick it so late in the day at the home of the league leaders proved the resolve this side have under Lee Bowyer.
“Preston headed into the weekend in the automatic-promotion spots, but the vast majority of their wins have come at home this season. They struggle a little on the road, but have enough about them to get a point on Sunday.”
