David Prutton’s EFL score predictions – 30th August

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…

CARDIFF v FULHAM

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

He said on Sky Sports’ website: “Cardiff haven’t found their return to the Championship quite as easy as they may have thought, although Neil Warnock is more experienced at this level than anyone and knows how tough it can be.

“Fulham were shown by Nottingham Forest at the weekend that, even with their attacking talent, they won’t just be able to blow everyone away. That being said, I fancy them to nick this one.”

 

BRISTOL CITY v MIDDLESBROUGH

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

He said on Sky Sports’ website: “I saw Bristol City look pretty flat in their opening game against Leeds and did worry for them a little, but since then they have gone from strength to strength and may have found a way to get the best out of Benik Afobe up front.

“Middlesbrough haven’t had the best start under Jonathan Woodgate, but they need to give him time if he is going to be able to revamp their style of play. Bristol City should be too good here, though.”

 

BIRMINGHAM v STOKE

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

He said on Sky Sports’ website: “It was a strange week for Birmingham. They suffered two really poor defeats but, in the middle of them, looked pretty good at home to Barnsley. Although that might say more about the opposition that they were facing.

“It looked like it would be another disaster for Stoke in midweek as they let a two-goal lead slip against Leeds in the Carabao Cup, but recovered to win on penalties. Now they need to take that good feeling into the league and win at St Andrew’s. However, I think this will be a draw.”

LEEDS v SWANSEA

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

He said on Sky Sports’ website: “Leeds crashed out of the Carabao Cup in midweek but I don’t think that will bother Marcelo Bielsa too much. They have a relatively thin squad and now they can turn their attention fully to their promotion bid.

“I think most people were expecting Leeds to be there or thereabouts this season, but I can’t imagine the same would have been said of Swansea. It is early days but Steve Cooper is doing an excellent job so far. I back them to grab a point at Elland Road.”

 

LUTON v HUDDERSFIELD

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

He said on Sky Sports’ website: “That was a huge win for Luton at Barnsley last week. They have become used to winning in recent seasons and it would have been a big boost for Graeme Jones to get his first victory.

“Huddersfield are struggling. Just one point so far and no replacement yet for Jan Siewert. This feels like another defeat.”
