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 Skybet Super 6 Challenge.
Here are this week's selections.
Our Skybet Super 6 Challenge predictions
Leicester City vs Man City
In their last nine matches, Leicester and Manchester City have both managed to collect just five points each. Leicester's defensive woes are evident, having conceded 10 goals in their last three games. Offensively, they have struggled as well, failing to have a shot after the 10th minute in their Boxing Day defeat at Anfield.
Manchester City, meanwhile, were unlucky not to secure three points in their recent 1-1 draw against Everton. City dominated the match, generating 2.09 xG from 24 shots, including five on target, while Everton managed just 0.63 xG. However, City’s away form has been disappointing, with no wins in their last five road games, losing four. That said, these defeats have come against strong, top-half opponents.
Facing a poor Leicester side in dismal form, City should have an excellent opportunity to bounce back and secure a much-needed victory.

Tottenham vs Wolves
Spurs are enduring a poor run of form, with significant pressure mounting on the manager and the team. They have managed just one win in their last six matches — a 5-0 victory over bottom-placed Southampton. Defensively, Spurs are struggling, having conceded two or more goals in three of their last four home games and keeping just one clean sheet all season at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Wolves, on the other hand, come into this match on the back of consecutive wins. However, those victories came against a Leicester side in terrible form and a struggling Manchester United team. Prior to this, Wolves had lost four matches in a row, and their away record remains inconsistent, with five losses in nine games on the road.
In their upcoming duel with Spurs, Wolves should have enough firepower to get on the scoresheet against a shaky defence, but Tottenham’s overall quality should be sufficient to secure a narrow victory and get back on track.

Crystal Palace vs Southampton
Crystal Palace have managed to stop their losing streak, but are still drawing too many games to distance themselves from the relegation battle. They have won just three matches all season, with a poor home record of W1-D4-L4, scoring only seven goals in that time.
Southampton, meanwhile, have shown slight defensive improvement, conceding just once in their last two matches. However, they have managed only one win all season — a home victory against Everton. Their away form is dire, with a record of W0-D2-L7, scoring just four goals while conceding an average of 1.67 per game.
Given Southampton’s struggles, particularly on the road, Palace should have enough quality to secure a much-needed win against a Saints side that looks destined to finish bottom of the table

Everton vs Nottingham Forest
Everton have been involved in four goalless draws in their last seven home matches, highlighting their defensive solidity but lack of firepower. They have scored just nine goals across their eight home fixtures this season, but defensively, they have conceded only eight — six of which came in their first two games at Goodison Park. In their last six home matches, they have allowed just two goals.
Nottingham Forest, sitting third in the table, come into this game on the back of four consecutive Premier League wins. Forest are likely to approach this game cautiously, aiming to keep things tight defensively while using their pace to counterattack against an Everton side that is comfortable sitting deep and defending.
This matchup has all the makings of a low-scoring affair, with very few chances on either side. A single goal could be enough to decide it, and given Forest’s current form, backing them to edge it 1-0 looks like a solid play.

Fulham vs Bournemouth
The matchup between Fulham and Bournemouth promises plenty of goals. Fulham will be brimming with confidence after their comeback 2-1 win against Chelsea. At Craven Cottage this season, games have averaged three goals per match, with both teams scoring in eight of nine fixtures and over 2.5 goals hitting in six of those.
Bournemouth’s games have averaged 2.67 goals this season, rising to 3.33 in away matches. They have conceded in eight of their nine games on the road but managed to score in seven of those, with both teams scoring in six.
With both teams showing a strong tendency for high-scoring games and shaky defences, both teams to score feels like a safe bet. A high-scoring draw looks like an excellent play for this entertaining matchup.

West Ham vs Liverpool
West Ham are unbeaten in their last four matches, but the context of their results suggests a mixed picture. They have managed wins against Wolves before Gary O’Neil’s sacking, bottom-placed Southampton, and a narrow 2-1 victory over a poor Manchester United. Additionally, they drew with an out-of-form Brighton and were outplayed by Bournemouth. However, their overall home form has been inconsistent, with just three wins all season.
Liverpool, on the other hand, are in excellent form, winning 13 of their 17 Premier League matches and averaging 2.35 goals per game on the road. Despite this, their defence has shown vulnerabilities, conceding in each of their last four away matches. This gives West Ham a chance to get on the scoresheet.
That said, Liverpool’s attacking quality and superior form should still be enough to secure a comfortable victory for the Reds against a mid-table West Ham side.
- Score 1-2 at 8.0 with Skybet
The total odds for all six games are a massive 359,040 with Skybet, which may be worth a £1 stake for some fun, I am keen to back both Palace to win 2-0 and Liverpool to beat West Ham 2-1 and these two games combined give you odds of 64.0 with Skybet.
