Here are our correct score predictions based on recent form, home advantage, motivation and team performance heading into the FA Cup weekend.
Ipswich vs Leicester prediction: Ipswich 2–1 Leicester
Ipswich have been building strong momentum in recent weeks and head into this tie with confidence. Their recent defensive performances have been particularly impressive, with the team looking organised and difficult to break down.
Leicester, meanwhile, have struggled for consistency and arrive needing to bounce back after recent setbacks. While the Foxes still possess attacking quality, Ipswich’s home advantage at Portman Road and stronger recent form could prove decisive.
Ipswich should create enough chances to edge the contest, although Leicester remain capable of finding the net.
Prediction: Ipswich 2–1 Leicester
Wrexham vs Chelsea prediction: Wrexham 0–2 Chelsea
Wrexham deserve huge credit for reaching this stage of the competition and will be fully motivated in front of a packed Racecourse Ground.
However, Chelsea possess significantly greater squad depth and quality. Even with potential rotation, the Premier League side should still field a strong lineup capable of controlling possession and creating opportunities.
Wrexham’s organisation could make the early stages competitive, but over the course of the match Chelsea are expected to assert their superiority.
Prediction: Wrexham 0–2 Chelsea
Newcastle vs Manchester City prediction: Newcastle 1–1 Manchester City
This is arguably the most competitive fixture in the 6 Scores Challenge this weekend.
Newcastle are extremely difficult to beat at St James’ Park and their high-energy approach often makes life uncomfortable for visiting teams.
Manchester City arrive in strong form and remain one of the most dominant teams in England. Pep Guardiola’s side will look to control possession and dictate the tempo.
With both teams possessing attacking quality and strong defensive structure, this tie could prove tight and tactical.
Prediction: Newcastle 1–1 Manchester City
Fulham vs Southampton prediction: Fulham 2–0 Southampton
Fulham have been particularly strong at Craven Cottage this season and continue to show organisation and discipline under Marco Silva.
Southampton remain capable of producing positive results but have struggled for consistency in recent weeks.
With Fulham enjoying home advantage and carrying good momentum, they look well placed to progress with a controlled performance.
Prediction: Fulham 2–0 Southampton
Leeds vs Norwich prediction: Leeds 2–1 Norwich
Leeds have been impressive at Elland Road and continue to make life difficult for visiting teams with their high tempo style.
Norwich arrive in decent form and will pose a threat going forward, meaning Leeds cannot afford to underestimate them.
This matchup should be competitive, but Leeds’ home support and attacking energy may ultimately make the difference.
Prediction: Leeds 2–1 Norwich
QPR vs Middlesbrough prediction: QPR 1–2 Middlesbrough
Middlesbrough arrive in strong form and continue to push near the top end of the Championship table.
QPR will look to use home advantage to make the game competitive, but Middlesbrough have shown they possess the greater attacking threat and overall consistency this season.
That quality could prove decisive in what should still be a close contest.
Prediction: QPR 1–2 Middlesbrough
