David Prutton makes bold prediction ahead of Sheffield Wednesday clash with Brentford
and live on Freeview channel 276
The Sky Sports pundit, who spent three years as a Wednesday player towards the end of his career, believes Wednesday will turn around their recent home form and beat the promotion candidates 2-1.
The Owls have shown great strides in recent weeks but will be keen to improve a run of Hillsborough form that has seen them win once in 15 matches – and not once in their last nine.

Hide AdPrutton said: “Had it not been for their 12-point penalty at the start of the season, he Owls would have been sat comfortably inside the top 10 and it looks as though overcoming that punishment could be the catalyst that propels them up the table once they return to positive points.
“Brentford, meanwhile, can now settle knowing that the protracted Said Benrahma transfer saga is done and dusted. They looked comfortable against Coventry but don’t tend to have much luck at Hillsborough and I think that’ll continue.”
Wednesday will need to keep an eye on five-in-five Bees new man Ivan Toney, who is suspected to have recovered from a knock in time for this evening’s clash.
