We already see a number of bookmakers offering punters some great prizes for correctly guessing six scores in upcoming Premier League games.
With that in mind, we have decided to take up the Super 6 Challenge.
Here are this week's selections.
Our Super 6 Challenge predictions
Man City vs Brighton
Manchester City welcome Brighton to the Etihad this weekend, looking to maintain their strong home form. Despite a few unexpected slip-ups, City’s home record remains impressive at W8-D2-L3, with their biggest concerns this season coming away from home, where they have managed just one victory against teams in the top 12.
Brighton, meanwhile, have rediscovered their form after their humiliating 7-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest, bouncing back with wins over Chelsea, Southampton, Bournemouth, and Fulham. They sit forth for xPTS over the last four games and ninth over the last eight. However, their record on the road against the Premier League’s top four leaves plenty to be desired, standing at W0-D1-L3.
That being said, Brighton have found the net in all but one of their away matches this season, and it would not be a surprise to see them score against a City side that has struggled for clean sheets at home, managing just three shutouts at the Etihad all season. Only Liverpool and Spurs have managed to prevent City from scoring at home, emphasizing their attacking dominance.
With both sides pushing for European football, a draw wouldn’t be the worst result for either, though City will be eager to secure three points and keep pace in the title race. Brighton’s ability to score and City’s occasional defensive lapses suggest this could be a competitive encounter with both teams finding the net.

Ipswich Town vs Nottingham Forest
Ipswich are in disastrous form and look to be limping their way back to the Championship. They have lost seven of their last eight games and have managed just one home win all season—a record that has put them on the brink of relegation. A defeat here, combined with a Wolves victory at Southampton, would all but confirm their drop. Defensively, Ipswich have been woeful, keeping just one clean sheet at Portman Road while failing to score in six of their 14 home matches.
Nottingham Forest, meanwhile, are pushing for a Champions League spot, and their away record of W7-D2-L5 doesn’t fully reflect how dominant they have been against weaker sides. Against bottom-half teams, they have an excellent record of W11-D1-L0, which strongly suggests they should come out on top here.
Over the last eight games, Ipswich rank 18th for xPTS, while Forest sit 11th, reinforcing the gap in quality between the two sides. With Forest chasing European football and Ipswich looking like a team that has lost all confidence, the visitors should be expected to take all three points as they push towards the top four.

Bournemouth vs Brentford
Bournemouth remain in the hunt for European football and will look to strengthen their position when they host Brentford. At home, the Cherries have been solid, recording a W6-D3-L4 record while keeping five clean sheets, though they have failed to score in four of their home fixtures. Their defeats at the Vitality Stadium have come against Liverpool, Chelsea, Brighton, and Wolves, though the 1-0 loss to Wolves was heavily influenced by a red card that saw them play with 10 men for much of the game.
Brentford have been involved in high-scoring affairs on the road, with nine of their 13 away matches seeing over 2.5 goals. They have only failed to score in three away games, one of which was a 2-0 defeat at Anfield. Given these trends, backing both teams to score looks the most sensible play.
However, Bournemouth appear to be the stronger side, and despite Brentford’s recent four-game winning streak on the road—beating Southampton, Crystal Palace, West Ham, and Leicester—the Cherries could edge a high-scoring encounter. Expect an entertaining match, with Bournemouth well-positioned to come out on top.

Arsenal vs Chelsea
Arsenal head into this clash without key attacking players, and once again, their struggles in front of goal could be an issue. At home, the Gunners have been solid, recording a W8-D4-L1 record while keeping five clean sheets. However, they have only failed to score in two home matches—a shock 1-0 defeat to West Ham and a 0-0 draw with Everton, a game they completely dominated.
Their attacking output has been concerning in recent weeks, managing just two goals in their last three matches. They now face a Chelsea side that has been wildly inconsistent, particularly on the road. The Blues' away record stands at W6-D3-L5, with just three clean sheets. More importantly, they have lost all four of their away matches against teams currently sitting eighth or higher, and they have yet to beat any side above them in the table this season.
Given Arsenal’s defensive strength at home and Chelsea’s struggles against top opposition, this looks set to be a low-scoring affair, with the Gunners likely to edge a narrow victory.

Liverpool vs Newcastle
The Carabao Cup Final between Liverpool and Newcastle promises to be an intriguing battle. Their two Premier League meetings this season produced plenty of drama, with Liverpool securing a 2-0 win at Anfield, while the sides played out a thrilling 3-3 draw at St. James' Park. However, cup finals tend to be cagey, low-scoring affairs, and this one looks set to follow that trend.
Liverpool will be looking to bounce back after the heartbreak of a penalty shootout defeat to PSG, while Newcastle could be missing key players. Both teams possess the attacking quality to find the net, but given the occasion and Newcastle’s absentees, a 1-1 draw seems like a very possible outcome.
It's been 56 years since Newcastle last lifted a major trophy, and they haven’t won a domestic cup since 1955. Their hopes will be hampered further by the absences of Anthony Gordon, Sven Botman, and Lewis Hall, while Trent Alexander-Arnold is also likely to miss out for Liverpool.
Recent EFL Cup Finals have been tight affairs, with nine of the last ten finals producing under 3.5 goals and an average of just 1.8 goals per game across those matches. Given these trends, backing a 1-1 draw looks like the most sensible play for this final.

Leicester vs Man Utd
Leicester City look resigned to their fate, with relegation to the Championship now seeming inevitable. Their defensive struggles have been glaring, managing just one clean sheet all season, while their home record stands at a dismal W2-D3-L9. The Foxes have lost five consecutive matches and avoided defeat just once in their last 13 games. They have found the net just once in their last five games across all competitions. At home, their goal drought has stretched to six straight matches, highlighting their attacking woes.
Manchester United have not been much better, with an underwhelming away record of W3-D5-L5, failing to score in five of those games. However, given Leicester’s fragile defence and lack of attacking threat, this should be a match where United can grind out a narrow win, even in what is likely to be a low-quality affair lacking much attacking inspiration.
- Score 0-1 at 7.50 with Skybet
The total odds for all six games are a massive 214,200 with Skybet, which may be worth a £1 stake for some fun, I am keen to back Bournemouth to win 2-1 and Nottingham Forest to overcome Ipswich by the same score line. Combining these two games combined gives you odds of 64.0 with Skybet.
