Newcastle vs Brentford: Odds, Lineups, Prediction and 3/1 Bet Builder Tip

Newcastle, currently sitting 11th in the Premier League table, prepare to host 7th-placed Brentford at St. James' Park on Friday, 7th February 2026, with kick-off scheduled for 17:30. This encounter sees two sides with differing recent fortunes looking to solidify their positions in the mid-table battle.

Newcastle vs Brentford Form & Head to Head

The Magpies come into this fixture on the back of a disappointing 3-1 League Cup defeat away to Manchester City in their most recent outing. Their form over the last six matches across all competitions has been patchy, with just one win, two draws, and three losses.

In contrast, Brentford arrive with a boost of confidence following a hard-fought 1-0 away victory against Aston Villa in their last Premier League game, despite playing with ten men for a significant period. The Bees have shown better form recently, with four wins, and two losses in their last six matches across all competitions.

The most recent clash between these two sides saw Brentford emerge victorious with a 3-1 home win in the Premier League back in November 2025.

Looking at their last six meetings, Newcastle have generally held the upper hand, securing four wins compared to Brentford's two. Despite the recent loss, the Magpies have a strong record against the Bees at St. James' Park, having won their last four home matches against them in all competitions.

Newcastle vs Brentford Team News

Newcastle faces a number of injury concerns ahead of this match. Joelinton continues to be sidelined with a groin injury. Defenders Krafth, Lascelles, Livramento, and Schär are also out with injuries, weakening the defensive options. Additionally, Gordon (hamstring), Guimarães (ankle), and Miley (knee) are all listed as doubtful, with their availability subject to late fitness tests. Should Guimarães and Miley miss out, it would significantly impact the midfield's strength and creativity.

Brentford will be without Kevin Schade, who serves a three-match ban following his red card against Aston Villa. This suspension could open the door for Lewis-Potter to start on the left wing. Carvalho, Dasilva, and Milambo are also unavailable due to injury. Nathan Collins will be pushing for a return to the starting XI after being on the bench in their last match.

Newcastle vs Brentford Match Prediction

Newcastle are facing a make-or-break period in their season with testing Premier League games, an FA Cup fourth round tie and a Champions League play-off to come before the end of February.

But the Toon are in desperate form having failed to win any of their last four games in all competitions, conceding 10 goals in the process.

Brentford came up with arguably their most impressive result of the season last Sunday as they won at Aston Villa despite playing with 10 men for almost an hour following Kevin Schade's sending off.

That was the latest in a string of good results on their travels for the Bees, but they've never won a Premier League game at Newcastle (D1 L3).
