David Prutton's Sky Bet Championship predictions

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

I mentioned last week that inconsistency was creeping into Fulham's game recently, but no sooner had I said that, they responded with a resounding 4-1 win over QPR to get back on the heels of West Brom and Bournemouth.

You can't help but feel that nothing less than victory will be enough for Mick McCarthy here. Sunday's defeat by arch-rivals Swansea means his side have lost six on the spin and scored just once in those games. This could well be an emphatic home victory.

Prutton predicts: 3-0 (Sky Bet odds)

Hull vs Peterborough, Wednesday 7.45pm - Live on Sky Sports Football Red Button

It's still far too early to be calling this a six-pointer, but whoever comes out on top in this one will get a welcome boost near the bottom at this stage of the season.

Hull have only scored four goals in the last 11 games, while Peterborough have been in the bottom three for over a month now and have lost all six of their away games. I think that run could stretch to seven here.

Prutton predicts: 2-1 (Sky Bet odds)

Swansea vs West Brom, Wednesday 7.45pm - Live on Sky Sports Football

Swansea's win over Cardiff in the South Wales derby will have been huge for morale under Russell Martin. A few more performances like that and they could be challenging a lot higher up the table.

West Brom were frustrated for long periods against Birmingham on Friday night and it did look as though they might not get anything from the game at times. They struck late on to grind out the win, though, which is a sure-fire sign of a team capable of challenging for promotion.

Prutton predicts: 2-2 (Sky Bet odds)
