David Prutton’s EFL score predictions – 20th December

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 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…

MIDDLESBROUGH v STOKE

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

He said on Sky Sports’ website: “Middlesbrough looked okay at the weekend until they were completely undone by those red cards at Swansea. Once again ill-discipline cost Jonathan Woodgate and his side.

“Stoke are still in the relegation zone heading into Friday’s game, but a win would see them move out of it and above Boro. That being said, I reckon this one will be a draw.”

 

CARDIFF v PRESTON

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

He said on Sky Sports’ website: “What a comeback that was for Cardiff at Leeds last week. From three goals down they looked done for, but it just shows the impact that Neil Harris has had there already.

“Preston are over their blip and back up to third. It may be too late for them to challenge the top two, but they are right in among the play-off battle. Score draw here for me.”

 

FULHAM v LEEDS

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

He said on Sky Sports’ website: “This is a huge game for Fulham. They should be right up there with Leeds and West Brom with the squad they have, but are badly adrift. If they don’t win here you think it may already be too late for them to make up that gap.

“Leeds really threw that win away against Cardiff last week. They head into the weekend with a 10-point lead over third place, but a few poor results at this level and that can dissipate quickly. I fancy them to bounce back and win here, though.”

 

WEST BROM v BRENTFORD

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

He said on Sky Sports’ website: “West Brom just don’t know how to give up. They went behind twice at Birmingham last week but still recovered to win thanks to the brilliance of Charlie Austin.

“This is a huge test for them because Brentford are in great form at the minute and right in the thick of the play-off battle. But I think West Brom will have just too much. Home win.”

 

SHEFFIELD WED v BRISTOL CITY

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

He said on Sky Sports’ website: “All Sheffield Wednesday can do with this potential points deduction is keep on going into every game trying to get the win and see what happens in the future. And they are making a decent fist of that right now.

“Bristol City have slipped out of the top six after back-to-back defeats and Lee Johnson will be frustrated with their recent performances. This is a chance for them to bounce back, but I think they’ll be beaten at Hillsborough.”
