Brentford vs Newcastle prediction, H2H & Probable Line-ups – December 7, 2024
One of the matches of the 15th round of the English Premier League will take place on Saturday at Brentford Community Stadium, where Brentford will host Newcastle. We suggest a bet on the total number of goals in this match with good chances of success.
Match preview
The London club has shown good form, remaining unbeaten in their last three league matches. Brentford claimed home victories over Bournemouth (3:2) and Leicester (4:1), and also drew 1-1 away at Everton. However, in the last round, they were defeated 1-3 by Aston Villa on a tricky pitch. Despite this, the Bees are comfortably positioned in the middle of the table, just six points behind the Champions League spots.
It’s worth noting that Brentford is second in the Premier League for goals scored, averaging 3.8 goals per match. Moreover, they lead the league in points accumulated at home, with six wins and no losses in seven home matches.
On the other hand, Eddie Howe's team has failed to win in their last three matches. In their most recent games, they lost to West Ham (0:2), drew with Crystal Palace (1:1), and played out a 3-3 draw with Liverpool.
In both of their last two matches, Newcastle took the lead but failed to maintain it. Over their last 10 Premier League matches, the Magpies have secured just two wins, four draws, and four losses, leaving them in a modest 10th place in the table. Their away form isn’t much better, with only two wins in seven away matches.
