"This is a mouth-watering play-off final," Prutton said.
"Millwall were excellent in the second leg at Scunthorpe and they really had to survive an onslaught towards the end of the game.
"They showed great control and were very clinical up front with Steve Morrison and Lee Gregory playing well together and they'll be hoping that continues at Wembley.
"Obviously last season they came very close but bumped into a Barnsley team at Wembley who had picked up a momentum since the turn of the year which took them all the way.
"Bradford will pose Millwall problems. The pace that they've got can cause plenty of problems.
Prutton added: "Will the disappointment of last season fuel Millwall? If it does then I think they hold a slight advantage.
"Neil Harris has plenty of experience and he'll have his side physically and mentally ready.
"It will be close but I'm backing Millwall to use the heartbreak of last season to edge it after extra-time."
