BetMGM Golden Goals: Our Tips & Predictions for the Sunday’s £1 Million Prize

BetMGM’s Golden Goals game returns this Sunday with another six top-flight encounters. Players must predict the exact scorelines of all six featured Premier League matches to claim a share of the £1 million jackpot. With the deadline looming at 4pm on Sunday 25th May, here’s a detailed breakdown of each fixture and our revised score predictions.

Liverpool vs Crystal Palace

Rationale:
There’s something inherently chaotic about this matchup. Crystal Palace have made a habit of causing trouble at Anfield over the years, and their recent showings suggest they’re not just here to play the supporting role. In transition, the Eagles possess pace and flair, especially through Eberechi Eze and Michael Olise, capable of unlocking space behind an advancing Liverpool backline.

However, this is no ordinary match for the Reds. With Jurgen Klopp’s time at the club nearing its end, there’s an air of occasion—and expectation. With the title still mathematically alive, every goal could matter. Liverpool have not looked entirely comfortable defensively of late, but they continue to outscore their problems, especially at home. Salah, who often turns up in key moments, may yet have one more decisive contribution to offer.

It might not be tidy. It likely won’t be controlled. But expect Liverpool to do just enough, even if Palace make them work for it.

Best bet – Liverpool 3-2

Nottingham Forest vs Chelsea

Rationale:
A low-scoring affair seems likely at the City Ground. Chelsea have rediscovered some defensive structure under Enzo Maresca, and they now look far more stable, particularly when tasked with managing narrow leads. While they’ve lacked ruthlessness in front of goal, they’ve become adept at protecting slim advantages once they get them.

Forest, meanwhile, are struggling to find any attacking rhythm, especially on their own patch. They’ve blanked in three of their last four home matches, and morale is waning. With relegation concerns still in the air, their approach has been more cautious than combative.

This feels like a match where Chelsea take an early lead and then focus on game management rather than chasing further goals. The one-goal margin has become their signature recently—and given the stakes, there’s little reason to expect anything different here.

Best bet – Chelsea 1-0

Southampton vs Arsenal

Rationale:
The Gunners have had to balance ambition with pragmatism as the season nears its end. Fatigue is a growing factor, and Mikel Arteta’s side have responded with a more measured, controlled style in recent weeks. Against a Southampton team offering little threat going forward, Arsenal’s well-drilled unit should keep things simple.

Southampton’s form has been woeful. They’ve offered neither creativity nor resilience, and this match provides no logical reason to expect a turnaround. Arsenal will dominate possession, probe patiently, and likely find the net via their reliable contributors in midfield or from a set piece.

This is not a fixture for fireworks. Instead, expect a professional job—one that secures the points with minimal drama. The visitors know what’s required and are unlikely to risk over-exertion against such limited opposition.

Best bet – Arsenal 2-0

Newcastle vs Everton

Rationale:
Newcastle are expected to put on a show here. Backed by a vocal St James’ Park crowd, the Magpies should seize control early against an Everton side already mentally preparing for the off-season. The Toffees have looked toothless of late, and their attacking effort has been almost non-existent in recent outings.

Eddie Howe’s side, by contrast, are finishing the campaign with purpose. Their front three, full of movement and confidence, have the firepower to trouble any defence—let alone one that has looked as disorganised as Everton’s. An early goal should set the tone, and from there it could become a procession.

Defensively, Newcastle have tightened up as well. With Everton rarely looking like scoring, a clean sheet is well within reach. This could be a performance that reflects Newcastle’s ambitions—and Everton’s resignation.

Best bet – Newcastle 3-0

---

Manchester United vs Aston Villa

Rationale:
This is a clash of contrast: one team lacking belief, the other chasing glory. Manchester United are limping to the finish line, their confidence visibly sapped. Meanwhile, Aston Villa are playing with clarity and conviction, fully aware of what’s at stake.

United’s defence has been particularly fragile, and it’s hard to see them containing Villa’s dynamic attackers. Ollie Watkins and Leon Bailey have been instrumental in Villa’s surge, and their combination of pace and precision will cause problems throughout. Unai Emery’s tactical nous ensures his side never overcommit but always strike with purpose.

Given the current mood at Old Trafford, the hosts may crumble once behind. Villa won’t need to do anything extravagant. Just stick to the plan and execute it with precision. A routine away win feels very much on the cards.

Best bet – Aston Villa 0-2

---

Fulham vs Manchester City

Rationale:
City thrive on ceremonial days, and this feels like one. With the Premier League crown within reach and Kevin De Bruyne potentially featuring in his final league appearance, expect the champions to turn on the style. Fulham’s makeshift backline will find it hard to cope with the movement and intelligence of City’s frontline.

Despite the Cottagers’ solid home form earlier in the season, their recent defensive performances have dipped. Against this City team, that’s fatal. Erling Haaland, Phil Foden and De Bruyne—if he starts—are all capable of pulling the strings and exploiting even the smallest cracks.

This might start competitively, but the champions have a habit of turning tight games into routs once they find their rhythm. Fulham might sneak a consolation late on, but it’s unlikely to be anything other than a heavy defeat.

Best bet – Manchester City 1-4
