Swansea’s recent 1-0 victory over Hull City put a stop to their five-match losing streak, but Prutton believes Leeds will still be “steamrolling” through the division.
In his netsports Championship predictions on February 12, he wrote: “On Saturday, Swansea came out on top at Hull City, almost completely unexpected! They were completely out of form, but that only goes to show what can happen in this league at any time.
“Can they match that kind of performance when they play Leeds? Given that Daniel Farke’s team is now destroying everyone, this is a large ask. I can’t back United right now, even though it might close down in South Wales.
Daniel Farke to keep steamrolling with Leeds United
Leeds United were at their best against Rotherham as their attacking talent combined superbly to help break down the Millers with ease to continue the push for the automatic promotion places.
While Patrick Bamford’s opener was scored in fairly controversial circumstances, Crysencio Summerville scored two wonderful goals, including a cheeky panenka which demonstrated just how confident Farke’s team are at this moment in time.
Archie Gray and Wilfried Gnonto were wreaking havoc on the other wing, and Leeds might be hoping to run wild once more on Tuesday night as Dan James gets closer to making his first-team comeback.
It is difficult to bet against the Whites right now, as Prutton mentioned, and if they perform even close to their potential against the Swans, they will be able to extend their incredible unbeaten streak for a few more days.
In other Leeds United news, Ian Poveda was eager to get out of Elland Road in January, according to Danny Rohl.
