Brentford come into the match having recorded a good 2-1 victory at Bournemouth last weekend in the Premier League.
With the match 0-0 going into the final 10 minutes, there was plenty of excitement to come and The Bees took the lead in the 86th minute.
Bournemouth equalised 3 minutes later but Brentford kept going and netted the winner in added time.
The victory at Bournemouth means Brentford are undefeated in 7 of their 8 most recent fixtures, all of which were played in the Premier League.
There have been wins over Sheffield United at home and Luton Town away plus draws against Manchester United, Brighton, and Fulham at home plus Aston Villa away.
Trends show Brentford have been struggling to win when playing at home recently and they have won just 1 of their last 7 home Premier League clashes.
However, they are undefeated in each of their last 5 home league games, with 4 of those matches ending in a draw.
Newcastle United travel to the LNER Community Stadium having lost 3-2 at Manchester United in the Premier League on Wednesday night.
It was the hosts who took the lead in the 31st minute and they led 1-0 at halftime.
Into the second half and Newcastle United equalised in the 49th minute but could not prevent Manchester United from scoring again 8 minutes later.
Manchester United extended their advantage in the 84th minute and Newcastle United scored their second goal too late to influence the outcome.
The loss at Manchester United means Newcastle United have won 2 of their 5 most recent fixtures in the Premier League.
The wins came over Sheffield United at home and Burnley away. There was also a 1-1 draw at home against Brighton plus a 2-0 defeat at Crystal Palace.
Statistics show Newcastle United have a good record against Brentford and they are unbeaten in 7 of their last 8 games against them in all competitions. Newcastle United have won each of the last 4 league matches against Brentford.
Team news: Brentford are without the injured duo of Aaron Hickey and Rico Henry. They also have doubts over the fitness of Nathan Collins and Frank Onyeka.
Newcastle United continue without Joseph Willock, Matt Targett, Jamaal Lascelles, and Sven Botman due to injury. Anthony Gordon, Calum Wilson, and Lewis Miley are doubts for the game.
Newcastle United know they need to win and hope other results go their way to finish in the top six.
The Magpies can score goals but conceding has been a problem and we predict both teams to score in this game. Newcastle United have had the better of Brentford in recent clashes between the teams and we tip the visitors to take maximum points.
