Premier League Predictions: Can you Beat Fred for £5,000 this week?

This weekend's Premier League fixtures are shaping up to be thrilling, with several key matchups that could go either way.

With Betfred's free-to-play 'Beat Fred' game live until 12:30 BST on April 12, 2025, here's my take on the six yes/no questions. Let's dive into the predictions: 

Premier League Odds

Will Manchester City (h) be winning against Crystal Palace (a) at half-time? 

At first glance, even with Man City's erratic form, you'd have to be leaning towards yes for this one; however, Crystal Palace have been somewhat of a bogey team for the Cityzens. Having been behind only once at half-time in the last six encounters between the two sides, I'd be leaning towards No. 

Will there be over 9.5 corners in the Brighton (h) v Leicester City (a) match? 

Having played out a 2-2 draw earlier in the season, which saw 10 corners taken, you'd be forgiven for expecting more of the same. The Foxes had 12 corners last time out against Newcastle and face a Brighton side full of attacking flair. You'd have to think Brighton are capable of racking up 10 corners themselves, so I'd go for Yes.  

Will Nottingham Forest (h) beat Everton (a)? 

Nottingham Forest have been the surprise package this season and are currently occupying third spot. With so much on the line over the next seven games, can they hang on to a coveted Champions League spot? My hunch would be yes. Everton have been resilient under David Moyes but, having already beaten the Toffees at Goodison Park this season, Forest should have enough to get the job done here. I'm saying Yes. 

Will both teams score in the Arsenal (h) v Brentford (a) match? 

The Gunners will have both eyes firmly fixed on that second leg against Real Madrid in the Champions League, and despite a healthy 3-0 advantage in that quarter-final tie I expect plenty of rotation. In short, my answer here is Yes. 

Will both teams score in the Liverpool (h) v West Ham (a) match? 

After a 3-2 humbling away to Fulham, Liverpool will be licking their wounds, and I would expect to see a much-improved performance at home. The fans won't allow anything else. West Ham, on the other hand, will probably just be glad when this season is over so they can regroup and push for Europe next season. It'll be a tough afternoon for the Irons. Both teams to score? I don't think so. No. 

Will there be over 42.5 booking points in the Newcastle (h) v Manchester United (a) match? 

It'll be a feisty affair on Tyneside. It's simple for the Magpies, win all their remaining games, and they'll lock in Champions League football. United will be keen to prevent Newcastle from doing the double over them this season but will have an eye on the Europa League second leg against Lyon. It could be a chance for some squad players to prove themselves, leading to a heavy challenge or two. I'd say Yes. 

Head over to Beat Fred before 12:30pm on Saturday, April 12, 2025 and have a go at answering these six yes/ no questions yourself, and you could be in with a chance to win a share of £5k.
