Here's a test of ChatGPT - Predicting Premier League Football Results

As it's the start of the Premier League football season in the UK next weekend, I thought i'd have a bit of fun and ask it to predict the results of the games. Just the results, not the scores, so Home Win, Away Win or Draw.

Here's the prompt I used

"I'd like you to predict the results of this season's Premier League matches. I'll provide each fixture and i'd like you to predict either a Home Win, a Draw or an Away Win."

The response

"Sure, I can help predict match outcomes—Home Win, Draw, or Away Win—but I’ll need the specific fixtures from you, since the season hasn’t kicked off yet (it begins 15–17 August 2025 to be precise) and no results have been played so far ([football365.com][1]). Right now there are no standings or form data to lean on, only schedules.

So here's how we’ll do this. You cue me with each fixture—say “Liverpool vs Arsenal, Matchweek 1”—and I’ll give you my best guess based on teams, squad changes, historical tendency, and projected strength. Keep them coming and I’ll predict each one.

For context: the fixture list was officially released on 18 June 2025 and the full schedule is available, covering all 380 Premier League matches from mid‑August 2025 through 24 May 2026 ([en.wikipedia.org][2], [premierleague.com][3], [theguardian.com][4]). Teams like Liverpool, Arsenal, Manchester City, Chelsea, Aston Villa and Newcastle look strong at the outset, while Sunderland, Leeds, and Burnley have just been promoted.

Once you give me a fixture, I’ll offer a prediction—no bullet‑point hell, just friendly chat. And about every four fixtures or so I’ll pose a quick question to get you thinking.

So, hit me with the first fixture, and let’s get predicting!

The Predictions for Round 1

Liverpool v Bournemouth HOME WIN

Aston Villa v Newcastle HOME WIN

Brighton v Fulham DRAW

Sunderland v West Ham AWAY WIN

Tottenham v Burnley HOME WIN

Wolves v Man City AWAY WIN

Notts Forest v Brentford HOME WIN

Chelsea v Crystal Palace HOME WIN

Man Utd v Arsenal AWAY WIN

Leeds v Everton DRAW

There was obviously a hell of a lot of extra output for each fixture, detailing it's logic for deriving a prediction. I won't include that here, but if anyone is interested i'll provide it if you email me.

Going Forward

As each round of results comes in, ChatGPT will update its knowledge and tune in to the next round of matches. As the season goes on, the predictions will encompass all of the previous weeks performances. There'll be obviously a reference to the mainstream press, but it will have access to all the previous results, performances and stats from each team over the season.
