Bolton Wanderers and Leeds United will face each other in the Championship this weekend.
The West Yorkshire outfit will take on Bolton at the Macron Stadium in the league on Sunday evening, and the 35-year-old has backed his former club to pick up all three points from the encounter.
“Leeds had a poor end to last season but I fancy them to get off to a good start here,” Prutton wrote on Skysports.com. “Their fans will pack out the away end and it should be a cracking atmosphere on Sunday.
“I think they should be aiming for at least the play-offs, while Phil Parkinson will be more than happy with Bolton consolidating their position in the Championship after promotion. Leeds to sneak it I reckon.”
A footnote added: “Prutton predicts: 1-2 with Chris Wood to score first.”
Leeds may be the away team for this weekend’s match, but they have better players and will head into the game against Bolton as favourites.
The Whites have done well in pre-season, and it is hard to see the West Yorkshire outfit drop all three points at the Macron Stadium.
Thomas Christiansen’s side should be confident of picking up at least a point against Bolton, and if they get the first goal, then they could even bag a few more and collect all three points with ease.
Bolton will be among the teams fighting for survival in the Championship this season, and for them, home matches will be important.
