Newcastle United and Brentford will face off in an exciting Premier League encounter on Wednesday at St James’ Park. The match is set to kick off at 19:45 and marks the 30th matchday of the season. As Newcastle look to solidify their push for a top-four finish, Brentford will aim to continue their pursuit of a mid-table finish. With both teams boasting strong attacking options, this match promises to deliver plenty of action.
Newcastle United’s manager, Eddie Howe, faces a few injury concerns ahead of the clash. Lewis Hall is out for the remainder of the season following surgery on a foot injury. Sven Botman and Jamaal Lascelles will also be absent due to knee injuries. Anthony Gordon serves the final game of his suspension. Despite these setbacks, Newcastle have a strong squad to field, with the attacking prowess of Alexander Isak and the solid midfield presence of Bruno Guimarães key to their success.
Brentford FC manager Thomas Frank has a few injury worries of his own. Fábio Carvalho remains a long-term absentee, and Joshua Dasilva, Aaron Hickey, Michael Kayode, and Igor Thiago may return to action soon. Rico Henry’s return date is still uncertain as he is working on regaining match fitness, while Gustavo Nunes is sidelined with a lower back injury. Despite these injuries, Brentford’s attacking force, led by Ivan Toney and Bryan Mbeumo, will provide a tough test for Newcastle.
Newcastle United have been in impressive form at St James’ Park, making them the favourites for this fixture. With four wins in their last five meetings against Brentford, Newcastle should have the edge in this encounter. Their solid defensive record at home, combined with a potent attack, makes them a difficult team to beat in front of their home fans.
Brentford, on the other hand, have struggled on the road, with only five wins in their last 14 away matches. Their defensive frailties, evidenced by 45 goals conceded, could be exposed by Newcastle’s attack. However, Brentford have a reputation for being dangerous on the counter-attack, and their ability to score goals means they can never be counted out.
Newcastle United are expected to come out on top in this encounter. Their superior squad, combined with strong performances at St James’ Park, makes them the favourites. Brentford have shown resilience this season but have been inconsistent, particularly in away fixtures. Newcastle’s recent 2-1 victory against Liverpool and Brentford’s 2-1 win against Bournemouth should give both teams confidence heading into the match.
Our Newcastle v Brentford match prediction favours a Newcastle United win. The Magpies are in a strong position, and with Alexander Isak leading the line, they are likely to capitalise on Brentford’s defensive vulnerabilities. However, we also expect Brentford to score, given their attacking capabilities.
Match Prediction: Newcastle United to win. Bet with bet365.
Given the attacking threats both teams possess, we anticipate a relatively high-scoring match. Newcastle’s recent games have been full of goals, and with Brentford’s tendency to concede, this match is likely to follow a similar pattern. A Newcastle v Brentford correct score prediction of 3-1 to Newcastle United seems plausible. The Magpies have been scoring freely at home, and we expect them to overcome Brentford in an entertaining encounter.
Correct Score Prediction: 3-1 to Newcastle United. Bet with bet365.
Both teams have shown a penchant for over 2.5 goals in their recent matches, making the Newcastle v Brentford over/under goals prediction an interesting bet. Newcastle’s last seven home Premier League matches have seen over 2.5 goals, and six of Brentford’s last eight away games have followed the same trend. With both teams possessing attacking firepower and the potential for defensive lapses, we expect over 2.5 goals to be a strong betting option for this match.
Over/Under Prediction: Over 2.5 Goals. Bet with bet365.
A Newcastle v Brentford Bet Builder tip for this match should include a combination of goalscorer markets and match result bets. Alexander Isak, having scored nine goals at St James’ Park in the Premier League, is a reliable option to score anytime. Along with a Newcastle United win, this bet could offer substantial returns. Additionally, betting on over 2.5 goals would complement this bet builder, as we expect both teams to contribute to a high-scoring game.
With these bets in mind, we predict Newcastle to take control of the game, with Isak likely to be among the goals, securing a solid win for the Magpies.
Bet Builder Tip: Newcastle United to win, over 2.5 total goals, and Alexander Isak to score anytime. Bet with bet365.
