Newcastle United vs Brentford Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 16th September 2023

When Brentford come to St James' Park for the Premier League match on Saturday, Newcastle United will be hoping to use their home advantage to their advantage.

A glance at the Premier League table reveals that the current difference between the teams is three points and six places.

Newcastle United find themselves as number 14 in the league table with three points from their initial four matches this campaign. As number eight, three points above them, Brentford have played four rounds this season.

Newcastle United took down Brentford in their most recent meeting, and bookmakers deem another win for the home side a likely scenario this coming Saturday. "The Magpies" need a win to stop the losing trend which saw them dropping nine points in three matches before the break.

Newcastle United enter their next Premier League match, averaging a decent 1.7 goals per game in their last ten matches, where they pulled off 17 goals, while also conceding 14 times. That amounts to an average of 1.4 per game, in which they kept their opponents from scoring once.

When it comes to goal-scoring Brentford are not the most prolific side. They scored a sustainable 18 times in their previous ten matches, making it 1.8 goals per game. They conceded eight goals for an average of 0.8 a game, achieving a clean sheet in four of these matches.

The most recent meeting between the two sides ended in a 1-2 triumph for The Magpies, who are looking to stay on top this coming Saturday at St James' Park. No doubt, Brentford are planning a comeback, though.

Newcastle United vs Brentford Prediction

Newcastle United Form

Newcastle United endured a tough spell in their previous three matches, which brought three defeats. They lost 1-0 against Manchester City, before Liverpool won 1-2, while Brighton claimed all three points in a 3-1 win. In their last six Premier League home matches, Newcastle United have three wins, while they've drawn one and lost two. They scored 13 and conceded seven goals.

A season somewhat above expectations could perhaps make Newcastle United a contender in a title race, though they do look capable of a podium finish if catching the right momentum.

Brentford Form

Having collected three points from their previous three matches without winning, Brentford are on the lookout for a win again. Against Crystal Palace, they settled for a 1-1 draw, before splitting the points with Newport in a 1-1 draw. In their latest match, they once again had to settle for a single point after drawing 2-2 against Bournemouth. In their last six Premier League away matches, Brentford have three wins, they've drawn zero and lost one three. They scored eight while also conceding five times. They also experienced zero draws and three defeats.

In a season where everything runs absolutely smoothly Brentford might be able to surprise. However, a finish inside the top half of the Premier League looks the most realistic scenario.

Newcastle United disappointingly lost their last two matches, but in front of their supporters at St James' Park, they will kick back and book a much-needed win.
