Based on the provided statements regarding predictions about sunspots, the following statements can be identified:

1. **There will be a peak in sunspots around the year 2030.** - This is a plausible prediction if it aligns with observed sunspot cycles.

2. **There will be a decrease in the number of sunspots after the peak.** - This is typically consistent with the natural cycles of sunspots, which generally feature peaks followed by declines.

The other statements can be considered inaccurate or unlikely based on typical sunspot cycle behavior:

- **After 2000 there will be fewer and fewer sunspots each year.** - This is too absolute and may not reflect cyclical variations.

- **There will be more sunspots in the 2030 peak than in the projected 2020-2025 peak.** - This cannot be accurately predicted without specific data comparisons for those peaks.

- **There will no longer be sunspots after 2025.** - This contradicts known sunspot cycle behavior as they do not cease entirely.

Thus, the most accurate predictions based on common sunspot data trends are the first and fifth statements.
