Brentford vs Newcastle Form & Head to Head

The Bees suffered a 2-0 away loss in their most recent Premier League match against Crystal Palace. Overall, Brentford's recent form has been mixed, including a 5-0 League Cup win away to Grimsby and a 3-2 home win against Liverpool, a 0-2 away win against West Ham and a loss to Man City (0-1 at home).

Newcastle won 2-0 away to Athletic Club in the Champions League in their most recent match. The Magpies' form has been inconsistent, with a 3-1 defeat away to West Ham, a 2-0 League Cup win at home to Tottenham, a 2-1 home win against Fulham.

 Brentford vs Newcastle Match Prediction

  • Brentford are still struggling for consistency but considering the calibre of players they lost this summer - and manager Thomas Frank - 12th place and six points above the relegation zone is a decent return.
  • The Bees have a desperate recent record against Newcastle, losing seven of their last eight meetings, including the last two.
  • Newcastle produced one of their worst performances of the Eddie Howe era at West Ham last Sunday to continue their Premier League struggles.
  • Howe's side have won just three of their 10 top-flight games this season and could head into the international break just a couple of points above the bottom-three if they lose again.
