David Prutton’s EFL score predictions – 25th October

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…

SHEFFIELD WED v LEEDS

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

He said on Sky Sports’ website: “Now this is always a fun game. Two big Yorkshire rivals and both in decent form as well, it should be a cracker!

“Sheffield Wednesday aren’t blowing teams away but they are picking up points under Garry Monk and moving up the table, while Leeds are dominating but can’t seem to put enough chances away. This has the makings of an entertaining draw.”

 

MIDDLESBROUGH v FULHAM

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

He said on Sky Sports’ website: “Middlesbrough got a much-needed clean sheet at Huddersfield on Wednesday night but they are still six without a win and in desperate need of a victory.

“Aleksandar Mitrovic is doing what was expected of him at this level, but there are still question marks over Fulham, who look less than the sum of their parts. That being said, I think they will have too much quality for Boro.”

 

MILLWALL v STOKE

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

He said on Sky Sports’ website: “Gary Rowett would have been pleased enough with what he saw as he watched on at The Den on Tuesday night. He has plenty to work with and has a goalscorer in Tom Bradshaw who is in red-hot form.

“Stoke’s mini-revival ended at Sheffield Wednesday in midweek, and it is important that they recover quickly. But I’ll back a bit of new-manager bounce in this one.”

 

SWANSEA v CARDIFF

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

He said on Sky Sports’ website: “Steve Cooper’s honeymoon period looks like it is over now, and Swansea are actually in pretty dire form heading into this massive game: the first South Wales derby for five years.

“This will be a huge occasion and it is always a fantastic atmosphere when two big rivals meet again after such a long gap. Cardiff haven’t won yet away from home this season and I don’t see that changing on Sunday.”

 

BRISTOL CITY v WIGAN

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

He said on Sky Sports’ website: “What a big win for Bristol City that was in midweek, as they came from behind and then snatched the victory with virtually the last kick of the game – and with 10 men at the end. For a side that narrowly missed out on the play-offs last season, those could be a huge couple of points come May.

“Wigan were on the wrong end of a last-gasp defeat in midweek, and with points on the road so hard to come by that will have been a real blow for them. We all know what Paul Cook’s side are about, but I think they will just about get edged out at Ashton Gate.”
