The starting lineup for each team in their last match in this tournament is listed.
Brentford
The Londoners have remained unbeaten in three consecutive Premier League matches, defeating Bournemouth (3-2) and Leicester (4-1) at home, and drawing away with Everton (1-1). In the last round, the team lost to Aston Villa away with a score of 1-3. Brentford is positioned mid-table, six points behind the Champions League zone. Also noteworthy is that the club's games are the second most prolific in the league, averaging 3.8 goals.
- Both teams have scored in 11 of Brentford's last 12 Premier League matches.
- At least three goals have been scored in 7 of the last 8 Premier League matches.
- The Londoners are unbeaten in seven consecutive home league matches (6 wins and 1 draw).
Newcastle
Eddie Howe's side has not enjoyed a victory in their last three matches. The team lost to West Ham (0-2) and drew with Crystal Palace (1-1) and Liverpool (3-3). In the last two encounters, the club opened the scoring but failed to maintain the lead. It is also worth noting that Newcastle has won only two of their last 10 Premier League matches (4 draws and 4 losses), placing them in a modest 10th position in the table.
- No more than three goals have been scored in 7 of the club's last 9 Premier League games.
- Both teams have scored in 9 of Newcastle's last 10 away matches in the Premier League.
- In the last seven away league matches, the club has only scored first once.
Brentford vs. Newcastle: Match Prediction
Bookmakers slightly favor the visitors in the upcoming encounter. I believe they underestimate the Londoners, who are the best home performers this season with 6 wins and 1 draw. Furthermore, Brentford's attack is the most prolific at home in the league, averaging 3.1 goals per match.
Newcastle seems less confident away in the Premier League. In their last five away games, they have only secured one victory (2 draws and 2 losses). An interesting fact about Eddie Howe's side this season is that they tend to perform better against top clubs, while often dropping points against mid-table teams and lower-ranked opponents.
Therefore, my prediction is Brentford with a handicap (0).
