David Prutton’s EFL score predictions – 31st December

Sky Sports pundit David Prutton has given his weekly EFL score predictions and it never fails to be controversial.

The former Nottingham Forest, Southampton, Leeds, Swindon, Sheffield Wednesday and England U21 footballer who currently works as a presenter, pundit and commentator has given his thoughts on the outcome of all twelve Championship matches and one from League One. See what he went with below and on the next few pages…

MILLWALL v LUTON

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

He said: “Can Millwall force their way into play-off contention? They are only a couple of points off the top six now and the division is wide open.

“Luton are on a dreadful run of form and don’t look to have any confidence at the minute. It is a big ask for them to go to The Den and get anything on New Year’s Day.”

 

WEST BROM v LEEDS

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

He said: “Well this should be a great game! Only goal difference separates the two sides at the top of the table heading into it, and whoever wins will be taking another big step towards automatic promotion. West Brom suffered just their second defeat of the season on Sunday, while Leeds won an incredible game 5-4 at Birmingham. Safe to say I didn’t predict that particular scoreline!

“Leeds edged this one when the two sides met at Elland Road earlier in the season, and it’s such a tough game to call. The sides below will hope it’s a draw so both teams drop points, and I think both will.”

 

DERBY v BARNSLEY

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

He said: “Will we see Wayne Rooney on the pitch at Pride Park? He is an absolute legend in the English game and it will be fantastic to see him play in the Championship. Derby won their last game to end a really poor run, but could do still do with a kick-start this season and Rooney may well provide that.

“Barnsley are in a position now where they can draw games against the likes of West Brom and Swansea and actually be disappointed they haven’t won, which shows how far they have come under Gerhard Struber. I’ll back a narrow home win here, though.”

 

SWANSEA v CHARLTON

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

He said: “Swansea are in the middle of an inconsistent spell of form, and haven’t had the best run over the festive period, with a win, a draw and a defeat in their last three.

“Charlton would have been disappointed not to come away from Derby with something after their opponents got a red card so early on. They are slipping down the table and Lee Bowyer will be delighted it’s January as he can finally bring a few players in. Draw here for me.”

 

BIRMINGHAM v WIGAN

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

 

BRISTOL CITY v BRENTFORD

The score David Prutton has predicted for this game is: 2-3

 

FULHAM v READING

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