David Prutton has predicted on Skysports.com that Leeds United will win against Bristol City in the Championship this weekend.

Leeds will kick off their 2019-20 Championship campaign with a trip to City on Sunday.

Former Leeds midfielder has predicted Marcelo Bielsa’s side to pick up all three points from the match at the Ashton Gate Stadium – a prediction that the Elland Road faithful will absolutely love.

Prutton wrote on Skysports.com: “It was a strange season for Bristol City. They improved upon their league position but, at the same time, they were well in the play-off race during the run-in so to miss out altogether would have been disappointing.

“Not as disappointing as what happened to Leeds, however. It will be interesting to see if there is any hangover from that at the start of the season, but I’ll back them to win at Ashton Gate.”

A footnote added: “Prutton predicts: 1-2.”

Starting on a positive note

Leeds have one of the best squads in the Championship, and the Whites will be confident of winning against City on Sunday.

The Whites, though, will have to be on top of their game right from the start, as they cannot afford any slip-ups.

It will be interesting to see if Leeds have recovered from the hugely disappointing end to the 2018-19 campaign.

As for City, they were in the running for the Championship playoffs last season, and will be determined to repeat their heroics this campaign.

There should be a few goals in this match, and one can anticipate some late drama.
