Brentford vs Newcastle Prediction & Match Preview

Brentford vs Newcastle Match Preview

• Brentford lost just one of the previous eight league matches.
• Newcastle lost four of the last six away outings in the Premier League.
• None of Brentford’s previous four league affairs on the home patch saw three or more goals scored.

Newcastle suffered an unpleasant 2-3 defeat to Manchester United in the postponed fixture of Matchday No 34 on Wednesday evening at Old Trafford. They will finish the season with the trip to Gtech Community Stadium in the clash against Brentford on Sunday afternoon.

The Magpies chase the 7th-place finish and a place in the UEFA Conference League next season. They are currently level on points with Manchester United with a significantly better goal difference than the Red Devils. A win on the final day grants them European football next season.

Nevertheless, claiming the spoils at Gtech Community Stadium will represent quite a big challenge for the Magpies. Brentford have found a strong rhythm in recent weeks. They lost just one of the previous eight league outings. The Bees dispatched Bournemouth 2-1 on the road last Saturday.

Latest Duels

• Newcastle have always been an unpleasant rival for Brentford. The Magpies won six, drew one, and lost one of the previous eight head-to-head encounters with the Bees.
• Newcastle celebrated a 1-0 victory in this season’s match in September last year at St. James’ Park.
• Both teams scored in two of the last three H2H outings.

Brentford vs Newcastle Prediction

Unlike Brentford, Newcastle have something to play for on the final day. However, we do not like their chances of claiming the spoils at Gtech Community Stadium. First of all, only 5 of Newcastle’s 17 wins this season have come away from St. James’ Park. The Magpies lost 11 of 19 league fixtures on the road this term.

Moving forward, Eddie Howe’s men lost four of the previous six away matches in all competitions. The streak involves a 2-3 loss at Manchester United on Wednesday evening. On the other side, Brentford have grown in form and confidence across the last couple of months.

The Bees lost just one of the last eight Premier League games. We like the home win or draw double chance pick at the odds of 1.66.

Brentford have tightened things up defensively in recent weeks. They kept three successive clean sheets at Gtech Community Stadium. None of their last four league games on the home patch provided three or more goals.

Also, three of Newcastle’s last five away fixtures in all competitions finished with fewer than three goals scored. The Under 3.5 goals pick is a great option at the 1.80 odds.
