Newcastle United
Newcastle United suffered their first heavy defeat of the current campaign in the last round. The club visited Liverpool and lost 1:4, although it had opened the scoring. Before that the club failed to score in two consecutive Premier League matches, drawing one and losing one. Such a winless run is already the third for the side in this Premier League season. The team dropped to 11th place in the standings and already trails the European zone by 7 points.
- The club has not lost in 8 of its last 9 league matches (6 wins and 2 draws).
- Both teams scored in 6 of Newcastle United's last 8 Premier League games.
- At least three goals were scored in 6 of the team's last 8 Premier League matches.
Potential Newcastle United Lineup
Nick Pope – Dan Burn, Kieran Trippier, Lewis Hall, Malik Tiaw – Jacob Ramsey, Joe Willock, Sandro Tonali – Anthony Elanga, Anthony Gordon, Harvey Barnes.
Defenders Fabian Schär, Valentino Livramento and Emil Krafth, as well as midfielder Joelinton, will miss the match through injury. Defender Jamaal Lascelles has moved to Leicester City.
Brentford
Brentford played last round away, where the visitors unexpectedly beat Aston Villa 1:0. That not only meant scoring, but also ended a newly started two-game losing run in the Premier League. It is also worth noting that in the previous 9 Premier League matches Brentford suffered only two defeats (5 wins and 2 draws). The club has returned to the fight for a top-5 finish and trails fifth-placed Chelsea by only 4 points.
- At least one of the teams failed to score in four of the Londoners' last matches in the league.
- No more than two goals were scored in 8 of Brentford's previous 11 Premier League games.

Newcastle United vs Brentford: Match Prediction
Both teams cannot boast consistently stable performances in the current campaign. What makes the hosts particularly dangerous is their form at their own stadium. Newcastle United have lost only once in their last nine home matches (against Aston Villa), and that was the only case in this run when they not only lost without scoring but also failed to score at least two goals. At the same time the home side conceded in 7 of their previous 8 matches at their stadium in the Premier League.
The visitors are also good at their arena, but they occasionally produce results on the road as well. The club has won 3 of its last 4 away Premier League matches, losing only to Chelsea. Brentford are very dangerous and are rightly aiming for a finish in the European places. At the same time in 6 of their previous 8 away league encounters the visitors conceded exactly two goals.
We expect at least three goals in this clash. Such a level of scoring was recorded in four of the previous head-to-head Premier League meetings.
Prediction: Over 2.5 goals
* The starting lineup listed for each team is from its previous match in this tournament.
