Who is David Prutton going to win the Sky Bet Championship this weekend? Find out here…

Birmingham vs HuddersfieldFriday 7.45pm

Birmingham got off to a solid start under John Eustace last weekend and keeping a clean sheet against Luton – one of the teams that reached the play-off semi-finals last season – is not a feat. Forwards Troy Deeney and Scott Hogan didn’t score a single shot between them, but that’s probably more indicative of Luton’s defensive prowess than anything else at this point.

For Huddersfield, it was a tough comeback. They face a new-looking Burnley, determined to outdo their opponents and try to muster any real chance. They are still in transition following the unexpected departure of Carlos Corberan, but won’t be able to use that as a mitigating factor for too long, you can imagine. I will draw to start the weekend.

Prutton predicts: 1-1 (Sky Bet odds)

Norwich vs Wigan12:30 Saturday – Live on Sky Sports Football

Norwich head coach Dean Smith complained about his team’s lack of quality in the final third game after the opening loss to Cardiff, which was a thorny issue, by all accounts. account, with a late red card for both parties. The canaries created many chances and forced many corners, but could not break through. To be fair, with their opponents having signed so many signings in the summer, they are something of an unknown.

Wigan has only signed one first-team player this summer and remains one of the early favorites for a straight return from the Championship down to League One. But they were a real threat in the goalless draw with Preston and scored 20 times without a goal, five of which were on target. However, Norwich should get over this one.

Bristol City vs Sunderland3 p.m. Saturday

There was a terrible sense of deja vu for Bristol City last weekend, when they lost a game that took the lead. They did it on seven occasions last season and Nigel Pearson doesn’t seem like the type to put up with that for too long.

Sunderland, meanwhile, is almost off to a perfect start, isn’t it?! They kept that slim for quite some time as Coventry pummeled the pressure on Sunday, but eventually had to give in when Viktor Gyokeres scored that superb solo goal. Naturally, it will take time to adapt to the split again. One point here, for me.

Burnley vs Luton3 p.m. Saturday

We knew Burnley would take a different approach under Vincent Kompany, but they certainly surprised a few with their quick, responsive passing, movement and pressure that helped them win the game. the final curtain of the division. Man City legend Kompany says it’s “a step in the right direction” and he will be determined to keep going and stay motivated.

Luton has had a few new faces on the roster this term and Nathan Jones has some really good attacking options at his disposal. The Hatters got a good point in the aforementioned draw with Birmingham, although they may have a little more difficulty at Turf Moor and for that reason I am backing Burnley.

Sheffield United vs Millwall3 p.m. Saturday

Sheffield United never left the match against Watford on Monday, but aside from a few fleeting moments, they also never looked like they were scoring. Young forwards Daniel Jebbison and Iliman Ndiaye have had impressive performances and I look forward to seeing them develop this term.

Millwall are one of two teams to score more than one goal throughout the opening weekend and both came from centre-back Charlie Cresswell, who probably couldn’t believe his luck. Gary Rowett’s men are too good from set pieces and will be keen to cause problems with other teams over the next few months. This could be a very interesting draw.

Prutton predicts: 2-2 (Sky Bet odds)

West Brom vs WatfordMonday 8pm – Live on Sky Sports Football

West Brom have had a point to prove this season and they put in an encouraging performance against Middlesbrough. New signings Jed Wallace and John Swift combined to make the equalizer and it looks like they will be the main performers for Steve Bruce.

Rob Edwards is another manager who got off to a perfect start last Monday night. Watford’s front line of Emmanuel Dennis, Joao Pedro and Ismaila Sarr looks intimidating against Sheffield United and is sure to outshine the other teams in this league. I’ll give another hot draw at The Hawthorns.

Prutton predicts: 2-2 (Sky Bet odds)
