Our write up on just a second defeat in 17 Premier League games ⤵#MUNBRE | #BrentfordFC
Brentford come into the match on the back of a 1-0 defeat at Manchester United on Wednesday night. The only goal of the game was scored in the 27th minute and the hosts deserved to take all 3 points.
The defeat at Manchester United was the first loss in 4 matches for the Bees. They have defeated Southampton away and picked up a point at home against Leicester City and away to Brighton.
Trends show Brentford are undefeated in 9 of their last 11 fixtures in all competitions but they have recorded only 2 wins from their 8 most recent games, all of which were in the Premier League.
However, Brentford are not easy to beat when playing at home and no defeats can be found in Brentford's 10 most recent home games in the Premier League.
Brentford have won 4 of their last 6 home Premier League matches and have scored goals in each of their 8 league fixtures on home soil. Both teams have scored in each of Brentford’s last 3 home Premier League games.
Newcastle United make the trip to the Gtech Community Stadium having recorded a comfortable 5-1 win at West Ham United on Wednesday night.
The Magpies played well but they were gifted goals by the West Ham United defence, who were shocking for much of the 90 minutes. Newcastle United score 2 early goals and added 3 more goals in the second half to take maximum points.
The win at West Ham United means Newcastle United have won each of their 4 most recent games, all of which have come in the Premier League. There have been wins at home over Wolverhampton Wanderers and Manchester United plus away to Nottingham Forest.
Trends show Newcastle United are unbeaten in 33 of their 38 most recent matches in all competitions. They are undefeated in 10 of their last 11 away Premier League games and both teams have scored in 3 of their last 5 league matches on the road.
Team news and Brentford are without injured forward Keane Lewis-Potter. They also have doubts over the fitness of Frank Onyeka, Vitaly Janelt, and Kristoffer Ajer.
Newcastle United are without injured midfielder Miguel Almirón and he is the only player unavailable for the visitors.
Brentford are in danger of slipping out of contention for the European places and this could be a game that sees them fall further behind. Newcastle United are in excellent form and should seal the victory, with both teams scoring.
