David Prutton’s EFL score predictions (27th September)

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…

STOKE v NOTT’M FOREST

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

He said on Sky Sports’ website: “It feels like I have said this every week, probably because I have! But this really could be make or break for Nathan Jones. The defeat at Crawley on penalties in the Carabao Cup in midweek was another real blow for Stoke’s season.

“Nottingham Forest, despite their thrashing at Arsenal, are in pretty decent nick in the Championship and haven’t lost since the opening day. They should have too much confidence and see off Stoke.”

 

QPR v WEST BROM

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

He said on Sky Sports’ website: “QPR are flying at the minute. Four wins on the spin and they look like they have a good few players in Nahki Wells, Jordan Hugill and Ebere Eze, to name some, who will get them goals this season.

“West Brom are the top scorers in the Championship and the impact of Grady Diangana off the bench against Huddersfield last week showed their strength in depth. They remain unbeaten and I fancy it to stay that way. Score draw.”

 

CHARLTON v LEEDS

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

He said on Sky Sports’ website: “The international break came at a bad time for Charlton. They were flying high but since then have lost two games on the spin, dropping from second to out of the top six.

“Leeds won’t know how they didn’t beat Derby last week, but that is not the first time we have said that about one of their results since Marcelo Bielsa took over. I think Charlton could frustrate them as well.”

 

PRESTON v BRISTOL CITY

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

He said on Sky Sports’ website: “Preston are flying high. It is five unbeaten now and they look like they have plenty of goals in their team and also look pretty tight at the back, which is obviously an excellent combination.

“Bristol City are ticking along well under Lee Johnson this season, although a couple of draws lately has seen them drift out of the top six. Narrow home win for me.”

 

SWANSEA v READING

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

He said on Sky Sports’ website: “Swansea are another side who have seen their results dip since the international break. They have failed to win their last two games or score in either, which will be a little bit of a concern to Steve Cooper.

“Reading are a strange one. They have looked so good in some games this season and seem to have a decent squad, but they have lost three in a row now but I reckon they could arrest that slump with a draw on Saturday.”
