Last Week's Results:

Here are our predictions from last week.

Our 6 Scores Challenge Research:

Arsenal vs Chelsea - After Manchester City’s league inactivity over the weekend, it is all change at the Premier League’s summit. At the start of another all-important midweek schedule, it is Arsenal who have wrestled back the top spot, and from here on in, all the Gunners can do is continue to do their bit and hope their two nearest rivals drop points elsewhere. In terms of doing their bit at the weekend, a Martin Odegaard double was enough to get the better of Wolves at Molineux and after a week where they both lost Aston Villa and Bayern Munich in the league and European action respectively, victory over Gary O’Neil’s men was not only the perfect tonic for those two defeats but also the perfect result before the visit of crosstown rivals Chelsea.

"...it was more Wembley misery for the Stamford Bridge outfit"

A Chelsea side who were also inactive in terms of league activity at the weekend but like Manchester City they were at Wembley instead. Unfortunately for the darker shade of blue, that is where the similarities stop and although Mauricio Pochettino’s men had all manner of chances at the Etihad - none more so than Nicolas Jackson’s trio of efforts that went unpunished, it was more Wembley misery for the Stamford Bridge outfit. No silverware will be arriving in this portion of the capital for 2023/24 and for the money spent via owner Todd Boehly, the American will be bemoaning the lack of return on investment. The only way to claw some of that expenditure back will be to secure a top seven finish and a subsequent return to Europe. That return is in their hands, but a slight fumble is our opinion on Tuesday, as we back a 2-0 home win.

Leicester vs Southampton - After their win at home to West Brom on Saturday, Leicester can breathe the slightest sigh of relief and with that return to winning ways for the Foxes, it has also returned Enzo Maresca’s men to the top of the Championship table. The King Power Stadium was certainly a nervous atmosphere last Saturday lunchtime - even more so when the Baggies scored a late consolation before their search for a second and with confidence levels not being the highest in the East Midlands, you could understand why Leicester supporters were fearing the worse. Thankfully for them, those fears were allayed at the final whistle and with the automatic promotion finishing line now in sight, the next hurdle is the visit of Southampton.

A Southampton side who have seemingly blown their faint hopes of squeezing into the top two and with them needing to win each of their last five Championship matches - a quintet that started at Cardiff last Saturday, it looked as if they would have the first of five wins safely in their back pocket. A 1-0 lead in South Wales at the interval was eventually reversed into a 2-1 defeat and a 95th minute winner for the hosts. A bitter way to see your automatic promotion hopes blow up in front of you and now all that Russell Martin and his players can hope to do is blow the hopes of others. They also face Leeds as well as Leicester in the Championship run-in, but in our opinion there will be no such explosions and therefore, we are backing a 2-1 home win.

Wolves vs Bournemouth - There is no doubt that Wolves’ season has come to an end and after last weekend’s defeat at home to Arsenal, Gary O’Neil and his players are now counting down the days until the campaign come to an end and although they find themselves neatly within the confines of midtable, this should not be a cause to a highlight malaise. Considering this was an outfit with reportedly no money at the start of the season, this should be a season which is looked as a largely positive one and now that those same financial woes have been lessened, those still at Molineux after the summer break should be able to use the 2023/24 edition of the Premier League as a springboard for better things across the 2024/25 iteration of the competition.

While midweek sees them play host to a club in a nearly similar situation, and with Bournemouth more than safe with 42 points on the board, the only thing that they and their hosts have to contest is the chance of finishing in the top half. A chance that would have been slightly diminishes after Sunday’s contest at Villa Park and although the Cherries did take the lead in the first trip to West Midlands in the space of 72 hours or so, their afternoon would eventually turn sour. Three unanswered goals would follow Dominic Solanke’s successful effort from the spot and as three potential points eventually turned into zero, Bournemouth missed their opportunity to move into tenth. They will be granted another on Wednesday night but with both teams dialling down their efforts, we have this one marked down as a 1-1 draw.

Crystal Palace vs Newcastle - For all the talk of Crystal Palace’s struggles this season and if you were to consider their plight as a struggle, they have never been in serious danger of relegation, a lot of their woe has stemmed from the unavailabilty of Michael Olise and Eberechi Eze. Either or both have been injured across the season and for each time, one or two parts of this duo cannot be called upon, there is always was a sense of what if from supporters of the Eagles. Was but not anymore and with the way these two and their teammates toyed with West Ham on Sunday, you would think the game had to be completed within the first 45 minutes. A relentless display of attacking football (not to forget West Ham’s dreadful defending) gives Oliver Glasner’s men three points to all but mark them safe before the visit of Newcastle in midweek.

A Newcastle side that was given the weekend off because of cup interest elsewhere and a Newcastle side that is still soaking up the rays after beating Tottenham 4-0 in the Tyneside sunshine recently. A victory over Spurs that has transformed the Magpies’ season in an instant and with Eddie Howe’s men now leapfrogging their Manchester counterparts into sixth, a campaign that threatened no European football next season is now offering the promise of exploits in the Europa League. Not what their supporters will truly want after getting a taste of the Champions League at the start of this but with the injury luck or the lack thereof that they have suffered, they cannot be too many complaints either. A trip to Selhurst Park may prove more difficult than first though if Palace can point to Eze and Olise once more and this is why we are opting for a 2-2 draw.

Everton vs Liverpool - The ‘points deduction derby’ now out of the way and Everton managed to pick up all three points despite some rather controversial circumstances. Not that Sean Dyche and his players will care for all the controversy that Nottingham Forest have whipped up with their post-match statement through social media. All they care about is putting further distance between themselves and the bottom three and with Luton’s steadfast refusal to win either of their last two league matches, the Toffees now find themselves in a far less sticky situation than they did a week or so ago. Before the midweek round of Premier League fixtures, the Goodison Park outfit are now five points of the drop and any addition to that quintet will be welcomed. At the same time, opponents Liverpool are going to be far from welcomed.

"...if the red half are only to win one piece of silverware in 2023/24, there will be a relative sense of disappointment"

Wednesday serves up the latest chapter in the stotried history of the Merseyside derby and with this being the last chapter that Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp will pay a part in, he and his players will look to create further club history at the end of the season. The Carabao Cup is already in the trophy cabinet, but if the red half of the area are only to win one piece of silverware in 2023/24, there will be a relative sense of disappointment for all involved. With that said, there was no disappointment at the weekend and although they went into the interval at Craven Cottage pegged level, their eventual 3-1 win at the expense of Fulham would put them second in the Premier League at the expense of Manchester City. Once again, goal difference is the only thing splitting Arsenal and Liverpool and a big win for the latter would be welcomed in midweek. With that in mind, we are backing a 3-1 away win.

Manchester United vs Sheffield United - Into the FA Cup final but at what cost? That is the question that is being asked in regard to Manchester United’s Jekyll and Hyde performance at Wembley on Sunday. Racing into a 3-0 lead and plotting their Wembley return for a repeat of last season’s final. Clawed back to 3-3 by Championship outfit Coventry and were it not for the size of a player’s claw or toenail as they are perhaps better known, it would have been the second tier outfit making the Red Devils second best on the day. Lady luck was certainly shining on Erik ten Hag but has the United manager used up all his luck in the eyes of Jim Ratcliffe. The end of the season will have the definitive answer for this additional brainteaser and it may now be silverware or bust if the former Ajax boss is not to be the former United boss as well.

Wednesday sees Manchester United play host to their Sheffield counterparts and after the Blades lost to Burnley at the weekend, not only was it another blank in terms of points being collected but the manner of the defeat is arguably going to hurt even more. With Chris Wilder’s men needing victory at Bramall Lane to have any semblance of showing survival instincts, a 4-1 defeat on home soil was not the way to go about it and although the dreaded r in brackets has not been positioned next to their name in the Premier League table, it could appear at the weekend. Just two more defeats would mean their top tier membership expires at the first time of asking and although their midweek hosts may be leggy after their Wembley exploits on Sunday, they should have enough to grind out an ugly 1-0 win.

Key Considerations:

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

Although a recent defeat at home to Aston Villa ended their impressive streak of results at the Emirates, Arsenal’s current run of home form should not be overlooked in any way. Especially as when looking at the form table for the last six home games for each Premier League outfit, it is Mikel Arteta’s men who find themselves at the top of the table. Top when it comes to form in North London with 15 points picked up from the last 18 on offer and top of the most important table of all before the visit of local rivals Chelsea in midweek. The Gunners have picked up 38 points on their own soil during the 2023/24 campaign - dropping just 10 in the process and they cannot afford to drop any against the Blues.

As for the Blues, they make the relatively short trip across the capital looking to put the weekend’s cup defeat behind them and for good reason when you look at their recent burst of league form. Before their trip to the Emirates, Mauricio Pochettino’s men have not lost any of their last eight. A run that has largely gone under the radar when considering there is never a quiet day at Stamford Bridge due to some form of argument either on or off the field. Then again, there can be no argument when you look at how Cole Palmer has been playing and with his penchant for penalties, this season’s Golden Boot could soon be in his possession. Unfortunately for Chelsea, they will meet Arsenal at the wrong time in regard to their own European ambition and that eight-game unbeaten streak looks seriously under threat before Tuesday.

In an EFL Championship season where seemingly no team has wanted to earn promotion in recent weeks, Leicester’s home win over West Brom may have finally awoken the East Midlands outfit from their post-Christmas slumber. What looked like being their league title at a nothing less than a canter had resembled a lame horse of late and the more they dropped points unexpectedly, the more interest was placed in the race to finish top of the second tier of English football. However, their recent home form has been the one thing that has just about kept things ticking over and with Enzo Maresca’s men having won each of their last three outings at the King Power Stadium, it is a run that they both we and they are hopeful of extending in midweek.

Especially as the weekend highlighted Southampton’s true deficiency and although they had picked up 10 points from the last 12 on offer before their trip to Cardiff, performances and ultimately results have been their downfall on the road. When looking at their last 20 outings on the road, the Saints have only marched to victory on nine occasions and when observing the same sample of scorelines, they have only managed six clean sheets. With that said, they are not shy when it comes to scoring away from St Mary’s and with just two blanks from their last 20, a breach of Leicester’s defence on Tuesday is definitely within the realm of possibility. Therefore, a home win but both teams to score is the direction that are we heading for our Championship prediction.

If there was any doubt that Wolves’ season had come to an end, you only have to look at their last five league outings. No win for Gary O’Neil’s men to look back on and just two points from the last 15 points on offer have been collected. The kind of run that will kill off any aspirations of European qualification and leave them on the outside looking in. The scenario that the Molineux men now find themselves in and a look at the form at Molineux has seen the club win 10 of their last 20. When looking at those same 20 home matches, they have failed to score in only two and one of those blanks were recorded as recently as last Saturday when Arsenal eventually eased to victory on enemy territory.

As for opponenrts Bournemouth, they arrive at Molineux wthin their same run of forgettable form. Not as bad as the team playing the role of hosts in mdiweek, but nothing to shot about all the same and with no win in the Cherries’ last three, Andoni Iraoal’s men have picked up just one point from the last nine on offer. Not overly impressive, but no overriding cause for concern at the same time and were it not for a late VAR check that went against them at the Vitality Stadium recently, they would have most likely felled Manchester United on home soil. When looking at their last 20 league games on the road, Bournemouth have lost 10 but with the stakes not being anywhere near high for their trip to Wolves, this has all the hallmarks of an end-of-season dead rubber.

If you look at Crystal Palace’s last six league outings, there is a neat symmetrical pattern to be observed. Two draws followed by two defeats which are in turn followed by two wins. From ok to bad to brilliant has been the best way to describe Oliver Glasner’s men and although their back-to-back victories only offer a small sample of what this latest batch of Eagles are all about, the manner in which they beat both Liverpool and West Ham in the past ten days is not something that should be diminished. Defensive heroics from Dean Henderson on Merseyside, a lighting fast attacking display at Selhurst Park on Sunday and after taking two massive steps forward in their bid to stay in the Premier League, the last thing they will want to do is take a step back at home to Newcastle.

As for the travelling Magpies, they arrive in South London in a rather rich vein of form. 10 points from the last 12 on offer and a double figure that has seen them surge up the table in recent weeks. However, it must be noted that seven of those were collected at St James’ Park and when you look at their wider away form, the picture is slightly less positive for Eddie Howe’s men. From their last 20 outings away from Tyneside, Newcastle have managed to win just six of them and across that same sample, they have only managed to keep a pair of clean sheets. They start the midweek programme 10 points behind Spurs in the race for fifth and with the North London outfit have such a tough run-in, these positions could eventually swap over. Then again, that overall away form is a nagging issue and this is why they may have to settle for a draw.

Everton’s Goodison Park home has always been considered a fortress. Admittedly, that fortress has shown a number of sizeable cracks in recent years but when the club need it and its rapturous fans the most, it has a habit of delivering and this has certainly been the case in the Toffee’s last two home games. Relegation six-pointers against Burnley and Nottingham Forest have delivered that exact total and with clean sheet victories also being pocketed at the expense of their struggling rivals, the struggles of Sean Dyche’s men has been considerably lessened. With that being said, there is still an overriding struggle in front of goal and when looking at their last 20 home games, the blue half of Merseyside have failed to score in six of them.

Not a statistic that they will want to be reminded of before Liverpool make their short trip across Stanley Park on Wednesday and with Jurgen Klopp’s men returning to winning ways in the Premier League last weekend, they will now look to further build on their impressive run of away results. A look at the last six sees the Anfield outfit having picked up 13 points from the last 18 on offer - the third best away form in the divison and when you expand the form guide to the last 20 on the road, the red half of Merseyside have picked up 12 wins and drawn another half-dozen. This equates to just two defeats from their last 20 away and with them having scored in every game of this sample, a blank in hostile territory does not seem like it will be on the cards.

Manchester United’s league form is not doing a great deal to absorb their indifferent showing at Wembley on Sunday. Before the visit of Sheffield United on Wednesday, Erik ten Hag’s men have failed to win any of their last four league outing. Two draws and two defeats during that quartet of league skirmishes means a lock-in of sixth in the league table has now been downgraded to seventh and on the basis of that second half showing against Coventry just a few days ago, you would have every right to downgrade their season so far report card. The pressure is already piled on the shoulders of United’s manager, even he knows he cannot allow that pressure to reach boiling point on Wednesday.

Manchester United may be going through their own period of relative crisis but for Sheffield United it is fair to say that they have been a lost cause for quite some time. The Blades leave Yorkshire on Wednesday night having lost three of their last six league outings. Not only that, but they currently have the longest run in the division without a win. That run is nine and counting and if it tips into double figures, Chris Wilder’s men will move a step closer to finally having their fate sealed. In terms of away performances at large, this is a team that has only kept one clean sheet in its last 20 and has also failed to score in nine of the same sample. Their hosts midweek may be far from perfect, but the visitors will not have enough to take advantage of such levels of indifference.

A couple of weeks ago, two lucky winners shared the £20,000 pot for correctly predicting five scores. The maximum jackpot of £250,000 is therefore still up for grabs.

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.
