David Prutton reckons Burton Albion will beat Sunderland 1-0 when the two sides meet in a crunch match on Saturday to keep their survival hopes alive.
The Brewers and Black Cats could both be relegated by each other at the Stadium of Light, and both could go down should they draw and other results go against them.
And in a match of huge magnitude for the division's bottom sides, former Leeds United and Nottingham Forest midfielder Prutton reckons Nigel Clough's men will back up Saturday's 3-1 defeat of Derby County with a second consecutive win for only the second time this season.
"Both of these sides are still likely to go down this season but if either still have any hopes of survival then they must win at the Stadium of Light on Saturday," Prutton told Sky Sports .
"Sunderland will be so frustrated. They've led in their last three games but been pegged back every single time to draw, while Burton gave themselves a glimmer by beating Derby last time out.
"I think this will be another win for the Brewers."
