David Prutton predicts result of West Brom clash v Bristol City
Sky Sports pundit David Prutton believes West Brom can continue their good form this weekend when they take on Bristol City at Ashton Gate Stadium.
The Baggies made it seven points from the last nine available with a surprise victory over league leaders Fulham on Tuesday night.
That followed a comeback 2-2 draw with Huddersfield and a big 2-0 win over Hull, which ended a run of six defeats in seven games prior to that, stretching back to Valerien Ismael’s run in the side.
Now Prutton has predicted a 2-0 win for Steve Bruce’s side on their travels this weekend, as they make one final push towards the playoff places.
A win against Bristol City could potentially close the gap on the top six to just three points if other results go their way. They’re currently six points behind QPR, who sit in sixth place.
Momentum
West Brom were desperate for some hope and some good performances after Bruce came in and after initially not getting that, they’re finally showing it.
On paper the Baggies have got one of the better squads in the division and with Daryl Dike set to return imminently they’re only getting stronger, but it wasn’t quite clicking.
Bruce has opted for several different formations since joining but he’s finally come across one that is working and is getting results that the fans can enjoy.
Another win would make it four games without defeat, the club’s longest run of that kind since a run of three draws and two wins between November and December.
The playoffs are a huge long shot because of the teams between them and that place, but if they can keep winning then everything is possible and the fans will know that better than anyone else.
