Super 6 predictions this week

Newcastle United vs. Bournemouth

• Newcastle win 2-1

Newcastle are currently enjoying a three-game winning streak, defeating Leeds, Crystal Palace and Burnley. They've extended their unbeaten home run to 12 games in all competitions, making St James' Park a real fortress. Bournemouth finally ended a long winless run against Tottenham, but defensive issues remain, and the recent departure of Antoine Semenyo to Manchester City is a clear blow to their attacking threat. The Cherries can cause problems going forward, but Newcastle's momentum and home advantage should prove decisive.

Manchester City vs. Exeter City

• 3-0 win for Man City

City haven't won yet in 2026, with their last three games ending in draws. Squad rotation is expected amid the busy schedule, so several young players should get minutes. Exeter are the team competing in League One, and they've never risen above that level. They were also flirting with the relegation zone not long ago. The Citizens rarely struggle against such a weak opponent, so they should progress comfortably.

Tottenham Hotspur vs. Aston Villa

• Aston Villa win 2-1

Tottenham have managed just one win in their last five matches and remain stuck in the middle of the Premier League table. The FA Cup is their chance to ease the pressure, but consistency has been an issue. Aston Villa, meanwhile, dropped points in recent away games, losing heavily to Arsenal and drawing 0-0 with Crystal Palace. Now they'll be eager to respond.

Charlton Athletic vs. Chelsea

• 2-0 win for Chelsea

Charlton sit near the bottom of the Championship table and come into this tie in poor form. They have just one win in their last five matches. Chelsea, despite ongoing struggles in the Premier League and a five-game winless run, traditionally take the FA Cup seriously. This will be the first cup outing under new manager Liam Rosenior, who finally has room to rotate and rest key players. Against weaker opposition, Chelsea's quality should tell.

Portsmouth vs. Arsenal

• Arsenal win 3-0

Portsmouth are another Championship side sitting near the bottom of the standings. They are showing mixed form with two wins, two draws, and one loss across their last five matches. Arsenal were recently held to a scoreless draw by Liverpool, but they remain the most dangerous team in England right now. Even with key players likely rested, their strong away form and overall quality should be more than enough to secure a win at Fratton Park.

Manchester United vs. Brighton

• A 1-1 draw

Manchester United are on a run of three straight Premier League draws. The overall picture is improving, but there's still plenty to fix. Brighton are very dangerous opponents. They were held to a draw by Manchester City last time out and beat Burnley 2-0 before that. They also made real resistance away at Arsenal in a narrow 2-1 defeat. All signs point to a tight contest here.

Super 6 is a completely free game where you try to predict the scores of six selected football matches. Usually, these are six Premier League games played over the weekend, but there will be various exceptions. For example, six UEFA Champions League matches could be chosen for your predictions. This game is open only to individuals aged 18 or over who are residents of the UK, the Isle of Man, the Channel Islands, or the Republic of Ireland.

1. To start, log in using your Sky Bet account or register to get a new one. Each round, you will be given six football matches to predict. For every match, enter your predictions by choosing the exact final score you think each game will finish with. You earn five points for every correct score or two points if you've managed to predict the correct outcome (win, draw, or loss for a team).
2. In addition to score predictions, you must also make a golden goal prediction. This means selecting the minute you believe the first goal will be scored across all six matches combined. If no goals are scored, the golden goal is recorded as 90 minutes. The golden goal is used as a tiebreaker if multiple players finish with the same score.
3. Once you have submitted your Super 6 predictions, make sure to save and confirm your entries before the deadline. After the matches finish, points are calculated, and winners announced. The closer and more accurate your predictions, the better your chances of winning.

The Super 6 Jackpot

Predict all six scores correctly to win the Jackpot. The Jackpot prize for each round of the competition is £250,000, unless stated otherwise. If more than one player wins the Jackpot in a round, the prize will be awarded to the entrant whose golden goal prediction is closest to the actual minute of the first goal scored. If two or more winners have golden goal predictions that are equally close, the Jackpot prize will be shared equally between those players.

Top Scorer

The Top Scorer prize is awarded in any round where no player correctly predicts all six Super 6 match scores and, as a result, no Jackpot prize is paid out. This prize is given to the participant who achieves the highest total points in that round. When the Jackpot competition prize is £250,000 or higher, the Top Scorer prize will be £5,000, unless stated otherwise.

Head to Head

By submitting a valid entry for any round, you automatically enter the Head to Head challenge against the Super 6 ambassador. Jamie Carragher, or another appointed ambassador, will submit their predictions for the scores in each round. Players who score more points than the selected ambassador will be entered into a prize draw. The Head to Head prize is £1,000 for rounds held on a Saturday or Sunday, or £500 for rounds played from Monday to Friday, unless stated otherwise. One Head to Head prize will be awarded per round, unless specified otherwise.

Season Leaderboard

The player who finishes at the top of the Season Leaderboard will win a prize of £10,000. If two or more players are tied on points, the winner will be determined by who has predicted the highest number of correct scores, as displayed on the leaderboard. If players remain tied on both points and correct score predictions, the season prize will be shared equally between those players.

The 100 Club

Players can enter this competition by participating in any round. To win, a player must correctly predict the score of a match in a round where 100 or fewer participants have expected the same score. The amount of the cash prize depends on how many people correctly predict the scoreline. If you are the only player to get the score right, you will win £10,000. The full breakdown of available cash prizes is shown in the table below.

Official Club Leagues

Players can choose to join a league for any Premier League or English Football League club. The top player in each Official Club League will receive that club's shirt from the current season as a prize. Participants can join up to 20 Official Club Leagues, but an individual can only win once. Additionally, if you win your league and your chosen team reaches the play-off final in the Championship, League One, or League Two, you will also receive tickets to attend the match!

The Super 6 game lasts throughout the Premier League season. While it's all about predicting the correct scores of six weekend games in most cases, sometimes six midweek matches are selected. Moreover, UEFA Champions League games will be in the centre of everyone's attention at some point. We always publish our Super 6 tips at least a day before the deadline, so make sure to come by and check them.

The number of rounds may vary from season to season. In 2025/26, the Super 6 game started on August 15, 2025, and will end on May 24, 2026. However, not each PL round was included in the Super 6 game during the current campaign.

After submitting your predictions, you can make unlimited changes up until the kickoff of the first match in that round.

After submitting your Super 6 predictions, Sky Bet gives you the chance to place a bet on your predicted results. They display the potential returns from a £10 stake, allowing you to back the outcomes you've chosen.
