David Prutton predicts West Brom clash v Middlesbrough
David Prutton has backed Middlesbrough to leave West Brom with a single point at The Hawthorns on Saturday afternoon.
The Sky Sports pundit has predicted that it will finish 2-2, with the Baggies set for disappointment before the international break.
Valerien Ismael will be hoping for more continued momentum after struggling to a 1-0 win over Hull City last night.
Sharing his predictions in his Sky Sports column on Thursday afternoon, Prutton insisted it will be a goal-fest.
Rather than going into detail on why the Sky pundit-turned-presenter simply predicted the score with no explanation.
Surely not…
The Baggies will be desperate for a dash of consistency, having won two and lost two of their previous four outings.
Defeats away at Swansea and Fulham prove that home is our fortress, and we simply have to finish this latest period with three points.
Boro were shocking defensively at Luton on Tuesday evening, conceding three goals in five second-half minutes.
Ismael has come under some scrutiny for his style in the past couple of months, especially his lack of ability to change things when needed.
That stubbornness could come back to haunt the Albion, but one way to counter that is to perfect what you do and pick up three points consistently.
Neil Warnock is one to keep the same style no matter what club he is at, and he loves to spoil a party, it is up to Ismael and his side to make sure that doesn’t happen on Saturday.
Three points are all that matter.
