Our 6 Scores Challenge Research:

Burnley vs Newcastle - Even just a month ago, you would not have considered Burnley’s chances of survival being particularly high. However, after a surprise draw at Manchester United on Saturday, the belief within the Turf Moor camp has only risen further. With the Clarets now being in range of Nottingham Forest in the bid to finish 17th in the table, their meeting on the final day of the season is shaping up to be a do-or-die clash in terms of who goes down and who stays up by the skin of their teeth. With that said, there is still work to be done before the last day of the campaign. If Vincent Kompany’s men are to make their Nottingham-based counterparts sweat even more before then, a result at home to Newcastle may increase the perspiration levels further.

As for opponents Newcastle, they already have the honour of relegating one team this season and victory this Saturday could play a substantial part in relegating a second. The Magpies found themselves going behind to Sheffield United early on at St James’ Park but that only goal from the Blades only seemed to wake Eddie Howe’s men up from the slumber. Five unanswered goals were recorded in the 85 minutes that remained in the game. With a positive combination of results going their way across the wider weekend, they have closed the gap to Manchester United who are currently sitting in sixth. Not only that but their slim chance of catching Tottenham in fifth has also been boosted and would be further boosted with a win on the road. However, with this Burnley side fighting for their lives right now, we predict that this one ends up a 1-1 draw.

Sheffield United vs Nottingham Forest - It has been coming since the autumn, but Sheffield United have finally been put out of their misery, and after being tormented on Tyneside, Chris Wilder’s men not only suffered a 5-1 defeat at the hands of Newcastle but have also been consigned to an EFL Championship return. A campaign of few highs and a tortuous number of lows is the best way to describe how blunt the Blades have been, and with them now conceding 97 goals this season, they offer up the worst defence to have ever played in the 38-game Premier League era. Now, the Bramall Lane outfit has to hope they do not become the worst outfit to ever play in the division. The measure of this is Swindon’s 100 goals against in 1993/94 - which is not far away before the weekend.

"...opportunity to earn three points and turbocharge their bid for survival"

This weekend sees them play host to Nottingham Forest, and although the fixture computer has thrown up a potentially nailbiting final-day encounter for Nuno Espirito Santo’s men, Saturday sees far less stressful and with a trip to Yorkshire on the horizon, the City Ground outfit will not be given a better opportunity to earn three points and turbocharge their bid for survival. Last Sunday saw them play host to Manchester City and although the likes of Chris Wood and Morgan Gibbs-White had chances to make the defending champions suffer, an element of wastefulness proved to be their undoing. That was against a solid defence; now they go up against a rather porous one, and with this in mind, we are backing a comfortable 3-0 win for the visitors.

Manchester City vs Wolves - Arsenal set a tough question after their North London derby win on Sunday afternoon; Manchester City had an answer for it just a couple of hours later. Although the Etihad outfit sit behind the Gunners in the table, they do have an ace up their sleeve that comes in the shape of a game hand. An ace that means if City win all their games between now and the end of the season, it will be a sixth Premier League title in seven seasons, and it needed their aces to get the better of a stubborn Nottingham Forest side at the weekend. Kevin De Bruyne created City’s opener, Erling Haaland’s second-half goal making sure that the points would be secured. Just four more games are standing between the title staying in the blue half of Manchester and the first of those is Saturday and the visit of Wolves.

Wolves come into this game having finally ended their run without a Premier League. After getting the better of Luton at Molineux last Saturday, manager Gary O’Neil can point at simply having available forwards to help his plight. With absences to key attacking personnel diminishing Wolves’ bite in the past week, it has been a fundamental reason for the club’s stagnant run. Such a downturn in results has also scuppered any realistic hopes of a European return for next season. Now, the sole aim will be finishing in the top half of the table and although that would be a nice finish, anything from eighth to fourth bottom is mainly arbitrary. A boost in prize money would certainly not be turned down, nor would a point or more at the Etihad. Unfortunately, we are backing a routine 2-0 home win.

Brighton vs Aston Villa - After their defeat to Bournemouth last Sunday, it is fair to say that Brighton are both figuratively and literally on the beach. The Seagulls start the weekend lying 12th in the table and cannot wait for next season to begin. Whether that will see Roberto De Zerbi still in charge in East Sussex remains to be seen, and although his managerial stock was rather high a couple of months ago, it is now suffered a considerable dent. At the same time, a downturn in desirability may have given Brighton supporters want they want and with their manager no longer in the crosshairs of some of Europe’s biggest names, it has only taken a massive slump in form to make sure there is no managerial switch at The Amex over the summer.

Saturday sees them play host to an Aston Villa side who would have felt mixed emotions throughout last weekend. Delirium when they found themselves 2-0 up at home to Chelsea and coasting towards another three points. Disaster when the Blues thought they had snatched a late comeback winner at Villa Park. A goal scrubbed off because of VAR’s intervention and therefore, Unai Emery’s men had to make do with just a point when it looked like all three were well secured. However, that is still a point profit in the race for fourth. With Tottenham losing the latest edition of the North London derby, it will take a monumental collapse for the Champions League anthem not to be heard in the West Midlands in just a few months. Because of Brighton’s own collapse, this should be an easy hurdle for Villa to climb, and we are predicting a 2-0 away win.

Chelsea vs West Ham - After their disaster of a performance at Arsenal almost ten days ago, Chelsea fans would have feared the worst after seeing their team go two goals down at Villa Park last Saturday. However, a spirited performance from the Blues and one that almost saw them snatch all three points at the death would have at least ended last week on a high and kept any European hopes on life support. The exact status that you could say about Mauricio Pochettino’s appointment as manager and with the Argentine being tipped by many for a summer departure, it may be Chelsea’s lack of available funds that renders that tip a lame one. As always with the Stamford Bridge outfit, it blows hot and cold from week to week. A nightmare from a predictive perspective but a fascinating narrative throughout this Premier League season.

The Blues play host to a West Ham side who arguably burst Liverpool’s title bubble for the season last Saturday. Although the Hammers are arguably the outsiders looking in regarding the race to finish seventh, their performance in Saturday’s 2-2 draw has at least kept the hopes of David Moyes’ men alive. Whether European qualification will be enough to keep the former Everton manager in gainful employment remains to be seen, and we could find ourselves in a position where no matter what position the East London outfit finishes in, it will not be enough to earn another season in E20. Both they and hosts Chelsea can turn it on when you least expect it; both can also be indifferent without even being asked and assuming that the Blues can fire up Cole Palmer, we expect this to be a 2-1 home win

Liverpool vs Tottenham - The title race is not mathematically over, but Liverpool’s odds of giving Jurgen Klopp have lengthened massively over the past week. A lacklustre showing in the Merseyside derby in midweek was then followed up by two dropped points in the capital, and after being held by West Ham, that was not the main talking point to come out of the London Stadium. The main talking point was the talking between manager Klopp and fading star Mohamed Salah. The Egyptian came on as a sub but not before Michail Antonio restored parity at the expense of Liverpool’s title hopes. We may never know what was said but will know if it is enough to see the 31-year-old have to make do with another substitute role on Sunday.

"...Liverpool's own title hopes have taken a massive dent"

Sunday sees them play host to a Tottenham side that has almost waved the white flag in terms of the top-four hopes, and after going 3-0 down to title-chasing Arsenal, it looked as if North London was surrendered last weekend. Admittedly, Ange Postecoglou’s men did show more fight in the second half but the damage was already done in giving the Gunners a three-goal head start. You cannot give that to anyone in the Premier League, let alone a team that has been as relentless as Mikel Arteta’s men. The fact that Liverpool’s own title hopes have taken a massive dent may make life slightly easier for Spurs on Merseyside, but with it not being mathematically over for the hosts, they cannot afford to roll out the red carpet. Therefore, we are backing an entertaining 3-2 home win.

Key Considerations:

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

It seems as if Burnley have found form at the right time, but have they left their great escape bid just a little too late? Nottingham Forest fans will hope they have; Vincent Kompany and his players will hope there is still a little more to offer. Going into their meeting with Newcastle on Saturday, the Clarets have not lost any of their last three in the Premier League and have only lost once in their last seven. That means 21 points have been offered in that period and ten have been collected. A turnaround which has breathed life into a team that looked like joining Sheffield United in a Championship return at the first possible opportunity. Now they have the momentum to pull themselves further up the league table, and after that draw at Manchester United, you would not bet against them.

As for opponents Newcastle, they make the trip to Lancashire in fine form of their own and with just one defeat from their last six Premier League matches, some form of European football will be returned to St James’ Park next season. As for which competition, it is going to be one of two. Either the Europa League or the Europa Conference League will be the destination and qualification for the latter is in their hands, the former still demands some work to do. On paper, their trip to Turf Moor should see them win comfortably and especially with the scoring form that Alexander Isak is in. However, the end of any Premier League season is never written on paper and for this reason, this outcome could upset the formbooks.

After their 5-1 defeat at the hands of Newcastle, Sheffield United’s run without a win was extended to 11 Premier League matches. A run that has consigned the Bramall Lane outfit to the drop and a run that has ultimately been unwantedly crafted because of their defence. An eye-watering 97 goals against in just 35 league outings. This equates to an average of 2.77 goals against per game. It also equates to simply not being good enough in the top tier of English football and the worry is that after such a daunting campaign, they soon become not good enough for the second. That concern for Chris Wilder or whoever the Sheffield United manager ends up being is for the summer and beyond, their primary concern for the weekend is how to fix their leaky defence before the visit of Nottingham Forest.

Before their trip to Bramall Lane, Nottingham Forest have not won any of their last four league outings and have picked up just a single point from the last 12 on offer. However, a trip to Sheffield United will surely be considered as mana from heaven for Nuno Espirito Santo and his players. Regardless of what Luton and Burnley do this weekend, Forest will have no better opportunity to earn three of the most priceless Premier League points of all. Win here and they take a massive step towards safety. Fail to do so and whisper it quietly; maybe the City Ground deserve to be sucked into a relegation dogfight on the final day of the season. It would be strange for their hosts to show some fight at this stage of the campaign, and in our eyes, it is a case of not if Forest wins but by how much.

Manchester City approach the weekend having gone 19 Premier League games unbeaten. That is a whole half-season where Pep Guardiola’s men have not suffered a loss in the top tier of English football. Four months ago, the last team to get the better of the defending champions was Aston Villa. City will retain their title if they are perfect in their next four games. Before the visit of Wolves on Saturday, the Etihad outfit have not lost in any of their last 28 home league games. When slimming down the sample to their last 20 in Manchester, they have won 15 and drawn five. Those 20 games have seen them score 49 goals at one end and concede 15 at the other. Add eight clean sheets and one failure to score and the numbers certainly stack up for opponents Wolves.

As for opponents, Wolves, they have picked up just five points from the last 18 on offer. However, three of those did come as recently as last weekend and with their win over Luton, it does suggest that Gary O’Neil’s men have not completely switched off for the season. With that being said, victory over a team in the bottom three is a less trickier proposition than travelling to the title holders. When looking at Wolves’ away form, this will be a primary concern before the weekend. The Molineux men have only won five of their last 20 on the road, and in those same 20, they have failed to score on eight separate occasions. In addition to this, they have only kept two clean sheets in that same run and this is why a home win to nil seems the logical prediction here.

When taking Sheffield United out of the equation, Brighton currently has the longest Premier League run without a win. A run that stands at six matches and a run that has seen the Seagulls swoop into the bottom half of the table. With 18 points being offered in total, Roberto De Zerbi’s men have earned just two. The only shades of light in an otherwise dark patch came with draws against Brentford and Burnley. Then again, if you were to try and look at their season from a glass-half-full perspective, this is the same team that did make the Europa League Round of 16, and their squad is now starting to show the after-effects of that additional football. With that said, if you want to dine with Europe’s elite, these are the challenges you must face, and now Brighton will have a challenge with the visit of Aston Villa at the weekend,

Aston Villa come into their trip to The Amex, having not lost any of their last four league outings. Eight points from 12 have been collected and although they were recently beaten 4-1 by Manchester City at the Etihad, if anything, that result has had a positive effect on their performances. With manager Unai Emery resting key personnel in that recent defeat, it means star names have been far livelier in the four games that followed, and because of this, their hopes of earning a first-ever Champions League group stage invite have taken an immeasurable boost. When looking at their away form, Villa have won eight of their last 20 and drawn five. Admittedly, these are not numbers that make you sit up and take huge notice, but they are numbers that are big enough to get the bigger of a floundering Brighton.

Chelsea’s defeat to Arsenal has certainly served as their nadir in recent weeks. A 5-0 defeat is going to smart for quite a while, but when you take that hiding out of the equation, the Blues’ form has not been bad at all. Responsible for handing out their own hiding at the expense of Everton in the game before, Mauricio Pochettino’s men have lost just one of their last six league outings. With Cole Palmer’s Golden Boot charge starting to pick up pace, his goals are the one thing that are keeping the Stamford Bridge outfit in the European mix. If they can turn it on against Tottenham in midweek and pick up another home win, their cause before the visit of West Ham will only be improved further.

As for opponents West Ham, they make the short trip across the capital, having won just one of their last six league outings. From the last 18 points on offer, the Hammers have collected just five and although the point at home to Liverpool last weekend would have been a nice surprise, it does beg the question of where that performance level has been hiding in recent weeks. The picture is not all that better when looking at the away form of David Moyes’ men. Their last half dozen outings on the road have seen four defeats with only victories at Everton and Wolves, ensuring their recent round of sojourns have not been a complete waste of time.

Five points off the pace and just three league games for Liverpool to contest under the watchful eye of manager Jurgen Klopp. The maximum tally that the Merseyside outfit can record is 84. With the form that both Arsenal and Manchester City are in, it will take something sensational for the league title to come to Anfield. Of course, it is not over until it is over, and although this Liverpool side has only won one of its last four league matches, their home form should stand them in good stead on Sunday. Looking at their last 20 home league outings, they have won 15 and drawn four - the sole defeat coming only recently at the hands of Crystal Palace. Add that they have only failed to score in two of those 20, and goals could be on the menu against Spurs.

Especially when looking at Tottenham’s decision to keep playing a defensive highline. The decision undid them at home to Arsenal last Sunday, do the same at Liverpool and do not be expected to see a similar outcome. As for outcomes, Ange Postecoglou’s men have lost both their last two league outings, with defeat to both Newcastle and the aforementioned reverse to the Gunners. Two games where no points have been collected and seven goals in total have been conceded. When looking at their broader away form, Spurs have lost seven of their last 20 and kept just four clean sheets. Admittedly, they have only drawn two blanks in the same sample, and therefore, both teams getting on the scoresheet, but another defeat for the visitors looks like a smart suggestion before Sunday.

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.
