“I’m going to go for”: David Prutton shares Southampton vs Portsmouth score prediction

Sky Sports pundit David Prutton has predicted a 2-2 draw between rivals Southampton and Portsmouth at St Mary's on Sunday. Speaking on The Essential EFL Podcast, the former Southampton midfielder noted the quality in Southampton's squad despite their points deduction, while praising John Mousinho's Portsmouth side ahead of the Championship clash.

Tonda Eckert's Southampton side sit in 13th place following a 2-1 loss to Wrexham, while Portsmouth enter the fixture in 19th position after drawing 2-2 with Blackburn Rovers. The Saints spent the summer revamping their squad with signings like James Ward-Prowse, Lewis Dobbin, and Keven Schlotterbeck as they target promotion back to the Premier League.
