Leeds United will be looking for their first win of the league season against Ipswich Town on Saturday.
The Whites have so far picked up two points from their opening three matches but can feel a little hard done by that tally is not a little more.
In their last outing, Leeds were once again forced to come from behind to salvage a draw with West Bromwich Albion following a highly controversial opener for the visitors.
But it does not get any easier for Daniel Farke’s side as they make the long trip to face table-topping Ipswich this weekend.
The Tractor Boys are one of just two sides to still have a 100% record going into the weekend following their promotion from League One thanks to wins over Sunderland, Stoke City and QPR.
Prutton predicts Ipswich vs Leeds result
Kieran McKenna has got Ipswich playing some excellent football, though Leeds‘ squad is expected to look much stronger than it has in the last two matches.
That said, Prutton still believes Leeds will have to wait a little while longer for their first win, backing Ipswich to come out on top.
Writing in his latest Sky Sports prediction column, he said: “Top of the league! At least heading into the weekend, Ipswich have enjoyed a perfect start to the campaign. They have shown they belong in the Championship, and this is a chance to lay down an early marker.
“Leeds battled to a point against West Brom last week, and were very unfortunate in how they fell behind. Credit to them, but the closure of the transfer window cannot come soon enough for Daniel Farke. I’m backing a narrow home win here. Prediction: Ipswich 2-1 Leeds.”
This will undoubtedly be Leeds’ toughest test of the season so far as they come up against a side, that for the first time, will also look to dominate the ball.
However, with Luis Sinisterra, Wilfried Gnonto and potentially Joel Piroe all in contention, Leeds are looking much stronger than this time last week.
