David Prutton's Sky Bet Championship predictions

Who is David Prutton tipping for victory in the Sky Bet Championship in the midweek round of matches? Find out here...

Bristol City vs Stoke, Wednesday 7.45pm - Live on Sky Sports Football

Just as Bristol City got that first win at home a few weeks ago, their away form has completely escaped them at the same time. One win and five defeats in six games is a real slump in form.

Stoke, meanwhile, are back on the march after three wins on the spin. They are going to have to keep going if they want to put any pressure on the automatics, but a top-six spot is more than within their grasp this season. This is the type of game they need to win if they want to achieve those ambitions.

Prutton predicts: 1-3 (Sky Bet odds)

Fulham vs Derby, Wednesday 7.45pm - Live on Sky Sports Football Red Button

Quite frankly, it is hard to think of any reason right now to doubt Fulham's chances of going on to win promotion. They can't stop scoring, hardly ever concede, keep on winning and are top of the table. They could be on track for a record-breaking campaign.

Derby overcame their latest points deduction to record a brilliant win against Bournemouth on Sunday, doing Fulham a massive favour in the process. They are a squad packed with resilience under Wayne Rooney, but it is hard to see any side coming away from Craven Cottage with anything right now.

Prutton predicts: 3-1 (Sky Bet odds)

Millwall vs Bournemouth, Wednesday 7.45pm - Live on Sky Sports Football Red Button

Millwall are going about their business very quietly this season, but are right up there amongst the sides who could well sneak into the top six if things go their way between now and May.

Bournemouth slipped up on Sunday. The gap between themselves and the chasing pack for their top-two spot is still big, but it can close quickly if they keep stumbling. And I feel like this could be another stumbling block.

Prutton predicts: 1-1 (Sky Bet odds)
