Here are our predictions from last week.

Our 6 Scores Challenge Research:

Bournemouth vs Brentford - As we approach the penultimate weekend of this Premier League season, several clubs have taken their boots off in preparation for the summer. One of those is Bournemouth and after being the latest team to be swept aside by Arsenal, Andoni Iraola’s men now cling on to 10th place in the table. A finish on this rung of the ladder would mean a top half berth for the Cherries and after a rather sour start to the campaign, things have been relatively sweet for the Vitality Stadium outfit under the watchful eye of their Spanish manager. Iraola’s transition to English football was not the smoothest but the club board showed patience when their counterparts may not have and after repairing those relative rewards, it is now time to look ahead to an exciting summer and beyond.

Saturday sees Bournemouth play host to Brentford and with Thomas Frank’s men being another of those clubs marked safe, this encounter on the South Coast has all the hallmarks of a dead rubber. The same hallmarks that could be found at the end of last weekend’s draw with Fulham. A blank in the West London derby means another blank for Ivan Toney and with the forward now having failed to score in any of his last 10 games, not only is his perceived transfer value shrinking by the day, but so are his hopes of joining up with England at this summer’s European Championships - and this is with the news of squad’s being enlarged to 26 men. A fundamental lack of goals has not just been a Toney problem, it has been a Brentford problem as well and therefore, we are backing a 1-0 home win at the weekend.

Newcastle vs Brighton - With Newcastle being tasked with a trip to Burnley last weekend, the task would have been avoiding slipping on a banana skin at Turf Moor. Teams that are fighting for the lives are always difficult to face in the final stretch of the season and although the Clarets were full of confidence before kickoff, the swagger of Eddie Howe’s men soon put a dent in that. Not only did the Magpies’ 4-1 win in Lancashire boost their hopes of returning European football to St James’ next season but due to a positive combination of results, it has now put Tottenham in their sights as the race to finish fifth takes an interesting twist. With two rounds of the season remaining, Newcastle find themselves just four points off the pace that Spurs are setting and if they can earn another home win this weekend, it could make things rather interesting when it comes to securing a Europa League berth.

"...a top ten finish is still in their hands"

As for this weekend, Newcastle find themselves playing host to Brighton and although Roberto De Zerbi’s men are on the beach for the rest of the season, they showed more than their bucket and spade last Sunday. Going up against a shellshocked Aston Villa after their Europa Conference League defeat to Olympiacos less than 72 prior, the Seagulls swooped in to create more short-term misery for Unai Emery’s men. Not only that, but it also gave Brighton supporters a reason to be cheerful after a rather forgettable run of results, their 1-0 win at the expense of Villa means a top ten finish is still in their hands. At the same time, with four teams behind them still eyeing up the same prize, there is an outside chance they could finish as low as 14th. One could argue that the position is irrelevant if Europe is not the reward and although the showed spirit last weekend, Newcastle will have more in a 2-1 home win.

Tottenham vs Burnley - Although Ange Postecoglou is considered to have credit in the bank as Tottenham manager, the last few weeks have seen him burn through it at a rather alarming rate. There is no suggestion that the Australian will be the next Premier League manager to get the sack, but if the North London outfit were to miss out on fifth at the end of the season from what was a considerable position of strength, then it may make for a rather awkward summer within N17. Sunday saw them make their annual trip to Anfield and one that once again saw nothing in terms of points to take back home. A 4-0 lead eventually saw Jurgen Klopp’s men take their foot off the gas and allow their opponents the opportunity to get back in the game and restore some semblance of pride. Do not be mistaken by the narrow margin of defeat; it was a dreadful display by the visitors.

"...the grandstand do-or-die clash next Sunday"

You could also say that Burnley’s last Premier League outing was a dreadful showing. All the previous momentum that they had built up over the past couple of weeks had been evaporated within 90 minutes. The brand of Burnley on display in their recent survival bid had morphed back to the brand of Burnley that we all witnessed at the start of the campaign. Not only was it an embarrassing home defeat to Newcastle last Saturday but a combination of results that went massively against them. With Nottingham Forest winning as expected at Sheffield United, the gap between these two sides who meet on the final day stands at five points. If that combination goes against them this weekend, it would mean the grandstand do-or-die clash next Sunday will mean nothing in terms of survival. This means, Burnley fans will have to keep a watchful eye on the City Ground as we predict a 2-0 win for Spurs.

West Ham vs Luton - With the news that David Moyes will be leaving the London Stadium at the end of the season, there is a sense of end of term for West Ham. Their new tutor Julen Lopetegui will arrive in the summer and before the former Wolves manager takes the coaching baton, the Hammers still have two more league games to contest before this campaign drifts to a close. The fact that soon to be former manager Moyes oversaw a 5-0 defeat to crosstown rivals Chelsea last Sunday would not have helped his cause in staying in his post and it can be no coincidence that the announcement of change regarding managerial personnel was made 24 hours later. Moyes’ second stint at the club has certainly crafted some memorable moments and their fans may be quick to forget them if the club stutters at the start of next season.

However, with the Premier League being as it is, one team’s woe is another team’s misfortune, and this is where Luton will be hoping to pounce on the state of flux that has been created in East London. Last Friday saw the Hatters go up against a now safe Everton side and if the hope was the Merseyside men would drop tools before Rob Edwards’ men pick up a hugely-important victory, that plan was not fully completed. An agonising 1-1 draw in the history books an evening before Nottingham Forest made light work of Sheffield United and in doing so, it means the margin of error in terms of safety now stands at three points - plus a less favourable goal difference to boot. Of course, the Premier League is known for crafting drama when it really matters and a 2-1 away win on Saturday would really throw the cat among the relegation pigeons.

Wolves vs Crystal Palace - After making the trip to the Etihad last Saturday, Wolves will be glad they do not have to deal with Erling Haaland for at least another few months and with the Norwegian assassin putting four of Manchester City’s five goals past the Molineux men, it was nothing short of a bruising defeat for Gary O’Neil and his players. A bruising defeat that leaves the club lying 12th in the table before the weekend’s events and although a top-half finish could still be secured by the end of next Sunday, it will have to take a considerable positive combination of results for it to happen - the first of those being a win at home to Crystal Palace this Saturday and this is easier said than done considering their form.

Even when looking at Crystal Palace’s previous performance in isolation, it will offer Wolves supporters reason to be fearful. Oliver Glasner’s men were fearless at home to Manchester United on Monday night and after swooping to a 4-0 win over the Red Devils, the Eagles will now look to finish the campaign as high up the table as possible. Palace may be 14th before the weekend’s events unfold. Although further progress would be nice in the short-term, the medium-term certainly looks positive under the auspices of their recently appointed Austrian manager. His tactics have been a breath of fresh air after Roy Hodgson’s safety-first approach and with the likes of Michael Olise and Eberechi Eze on hand to torment Wolves, we are backing a 0-2 away win.

Nottingham Forest vs Chelsea - Although not mathematically safe, Nottingham Forest took a huge leap towards survival last weekend with their 3-1 win at Sheffield United. Not only was it three more points in the bag for Nuno Espirito Santo’s men, but it was dropped points for both Luton and Burnley below that has strengthened their hand before the season's penultimate weekend. Going into Round 37 of the campaign, the City Ground outfit are now three points clear of the Hatters and five clear of the Clarets. The fixture computer has saved next Sunday as a potential winner-takes-all all clash between Forest and Burnley, on the evidence of last Saturday’s respective performances, its potential magnitude could be far lessened by the end of this Saturday.

With that being said, Nottingham Forest supporters cannot relax just yet and with Chelsea now officially in the European places, the last thing Mauricio Pochettino will want to see his players slip back out of it. It has been a rollercoaster ride for the Argentine in his first season in charge and securing a return to European football would help his cause in getting a second. A cause that would have also been helped after a resounding 5-0 win at home to West Ham last Sunday and although it is far too early to say the Blues are now the finished article under the former Tottenham boss, they are certainly finishing the season well. Three games left to play for the West London outfit and three wins would ensure some continental excursions in the autumn. With this in mind, we reckon it is a case of one down, two to go on Saturday as they earn themselves a 2-1 away win.

Key Considerations:

Before the weekend’s 6 Scores Challenge gets underway, here are our key considerations:

As Bournemouth sit within the group of teams that have contested dead rubbers recently, their end of season form has reflected such a status. Their last six league outings have seen the Cherries win twice, lose three times and also pick up a single draw for their efforts. Efforts that have seen them pick seven points from the last 18 on offer. It could be better but it could be far worse and with their safety secured in good time, it is no surprise that their levels of intensity have not been as high as they were at earlier stages of the season. With that said, Andoni Iraola’s men have not lost any of their last six at the Vitality Stadium. Their ability to turn their home ground into something resembling a fortress has aided their quest throughout this Premier League campaign and should also aid them in their quest for three more points at the weekend.

As for Saturday’s opponents Brentford, their form has seen an uptick at just the right time. Their last six Premier League outings have seen them lose just once. The 1-0 loss to Everton serving as the only recent blot on their copybook and that same spell has seen them earn nine points from the last 18 on offer - just enough to put serious distance between themselves and any relegation battle that threatened to grab hold of them. Although there are reasons to be cheerful overall, the Bees’ away results have not offered much in the way of sting these past few months and when looking at the last 20 performances on the road, Thomas Frank’s men have won just five of them. In addition to this, they have also failed to score in six of the same sample as this why the home win to nil seems largely appealing here.

Regarding recent home form, Newcastle are almost approaching the gold standard. Fourth in the table, based on home results (last six) and no defeat in seven at St James’ Park for Eddie Howe’s men. If you were to expand their home form to the last 20 outings on Tyneside, the Magpies have scored 52 goals and won 13 games. Although performances on the road have been shaky from time to time, home comforts have brought comfort to supporters of the club and a return to European football is in touching distance. Regardless of venue, Newcastle has picked up 13 points from the last 18 on offer, and the last thing manager Howe wants is for this recent surge in performance to end up in vain.

Saturday sees them play host to a Brighton side that has struggled on the road in recent weeks. Roberto De Zerbi’s men make the trip north having failed to win any of their last five away league outings. Not only that, but when you look at their last 20 away days in the top tier, the Seagulls have managed to win just four. A return which is the difference between being in the European mix once again and fighting to finish in the top ten. Admittedly, this is a team that has shown signs of growing pains after being in Europe themselves and it will be interesting to see how one less front to compete on aids them next time around. Brighton have also only managed to keep three clean sheets across those 20 away games and therefore, victory at St James’ Park is going to be a considerably big ask.

If you were to look at the Premier League table from the last four games only, Tottenham would be 19th in the form table. The second coldest team in the top tier in this small sample, with only Sheffield United performing at an even lower temperature than Spurs. Of course, this is not the run of form that Ange Postecoglou and his players would have wanted and as a tussle for fourth with Aston Villa has now turned into making sure fifth place and Europa League qualification is secure, the visit of Burnley may have just come at the right time for the North London outfit. Admittedly, they have no form - or at least any good form to call upon right now but all miserable runs have to end at some point and Spurs supporters will be hoping it comes on Saturday.

Especially after Burnley’s wounding defeat at the hands of Newcastle last Saturday. Just like how Luton recently lost 5-1 to Brentford, you wonder if such magnitude of defeat is a blow that ends up being near mortal. Had Burnley picked up at least a point at home last weekend, it would have furthered the momentum that Vincent Kompany’s players had generated to that point. Now with a heavy loss at Turf Moor to bounce back from, Tottenham will feel that they are meeting this relegation-threatened club at a less critical juncture. When looking at Burnley’s last 20 away games, they have won just five and lost twice as many. The same sample sees them keeping just two clean sheets and having failed to score on five occasions. With these numbers to back up their current circumstances, all signs should point to a home win at the weekend.

Now that the news regarding David Moyes’ departure from West Ham has been converted from rumour to upcoming fact, it almost makes West Ham’s form going into the weekend rather irrelevant - which in itself may not be a bad thing when you consider how they have operated across their last four league outings. Three defeats from those four and just a single point from 12 in their back pocket will have certainly swayed the West Ham’s board decision in terms of making managerial change and although the arrival of Julen Loptegui may give an additional impetus to those currently plying their trade within East London, it is not an impact that will be felt as soon as this weekend. Nothing to play for as for as the Hammers are concerned; everything to play for regarding their opponents.

Opponents that come in the shape of Luton and after picking up a point at home to Everton last Friday, their run of three previous league defeats has ended. Like the Hammers who host them, they have also picked up just a single point from the last 12 on offer. Unlike the Hammers who host them, there is nothing in the way of managerial flux. Rob Edwards’ has been a constant throughout Luton’s campaign and was even linked with replacing David Moyes at West Ham. A link that comes with looking past results as a sole indicator and more a case of how close the Hatters have come on numerous occasions - only to then fail to get over the line. Saturday could be the day when they cross the line and make Nottingham Forest sweat in the battle to stay up.

Wolves enter the weekend having lost four of their last six league outings and even if you took their resounding defeat at Manchester City out of the equation, they are still performing like a team with not much to play for. Dead rubbers have been the order of the day for Gary O’Neil’s men and the same order will be placed this weekend. When looking at the last 18 points made available in the Premier League, the Molineux men have picked up four. Their only win in that six-game sample was the recent 2-1 victory at home to Luton and although Wolves’ defence has not been the most porous this season, they have also managed just four clean sheets from their last 20 appearances in the West Midlands. A statistic that will be music to the ears of Crystal Palace.

As for Crystal Palace, they not only arrive in the West Midlands fresh off their 4-0 demolition win over Manchester United but that success at Selhurst Park has also extended their unbeaten Premier League run to five matches. Not a run that is going to make too much of a difference in terms of their final position next Sunday - even if there is scope for further progress but a run that will certainly offer optimism in South London across the summer and when a team is flying this high, you almost do not want the season to end. Nothing Palace can do about their upcoming hiatus for the summer but they can aid their bid to finish further up the league ladder and with the current form that Oliver Glasner’s men find themselves in, you would brave to bet against them.

Last Saturday saw Nottingham Forest expected to go to Sheffield United and pick up three points. Thankfully for manager Nuno Espirito Santo, that expectation was fully met and thanks to success at Bramall Lane, it meant a first Premier League win in five attempts. Victories against both Fulham and the Blades have served as the bookends to a run of four without a win. However, a tally of seven points from the 18 on offer has managed to put a comfortable amount of daylight between Forest and the relegation zone. Not comfortable enough for them to relax, but their bid to earn survival regardless of points deductions is still very much in their own hands.

As for Saturday’s opponents Chelsea, they will look to end their run of away outings without a win. Before their trip to the City Ground, Mauricio Pochettino’s men have failed to win any of their last five on the road. Not a great picture away from Stamford Bridge, but their last six, regardless of venue, paints a far better one. When looking at the last half-dozen league games in isolation, the Blues have lost just once and picked up 11 points from the last 18 on offer. Admittedly, the reverse was a 5-0 hiding at the hands of Arsenal but you must not forget they have also beaten West Ham by the same score and gone one better when getting the better of Everton. If you look at it from New Year’s Day onwards, Chelsea would be a top-four team, and it is this overall momentum that we are banking on over the weekend.

Someone may have got their hands on £20,000, but the £250,000 jackpot is still up for grabs. Are you ready to play the 6 Scores challenge below?

6 Scores Challenge Rules:

Regarding how the Bet365 6 Scores challenge works, the premise sounds rather simple - predict the correct scores in six selected matches and walk away with £250,000 for your troubles. This one is easy to play but incredibly difficult to master.

While to make mastering the game a little more difficult, there are no prizes for simply predicting the correct outcome. For example, if Arsenal play Tottenham and you predicted a 1-1 draw, that is the score required to tick off your first winner.

Should the two North London rivals play out a 2-2 draw instead, you may have backed the correct outcome, but it is no good when it comes to this free football jackpot game.

Final Thoughts:

This game is open to all Bet365 customers, and not only is it open to all, it could not be any easier to play although it is incredibly difficult to master. We all think we know our football, and backing a team to win, lose or draw is not the most difficult of wagers to place.

However, when you add the correct score into the mix, this is where things start to get a lot more difficult. But even though mastering the game may prove difficult, it does nothing to reduce the amount of fun that can be had.

Whether working alone or pooling your brain power with your friends, this football score predictions game is worth a look.

Another thing that needs to be highlighted is that the Bet365 £250,000 jackpot is only available until a person or persons do the business. Nobody has achieved prediction perfection yet; the holy grail of a cool half a million pounds is still yet to be reached.

Of course, that has not stopped a legion of punters from trying their luck each weekend, and although the Bet365 6 Scores Challenge has not been around for long, it has quickly become one of the most popular free games in the industry.
