Brentford vs Newcastle - Match Preview

Brentford have been dominant at home this season. They have earned 19 points at the Gtech Community Stadium, the best home record in the league. However, their away form has been poor, as shown in their recent loss to Villa.

The Bees have scored at least three goals in their last four home matches. Despite their attacking strength, they have yet to keep a clean sheet at home this season. Brentford's attacking firepower makes them dangerous, but defensive issues remain a concern.

Newcastle will look to repeat their success at the Gtech Community Stadium from last season, where they won 4-2. The Magpies have been Brentford’s toughest opponents in the Premier League. Brentford have failed to win any of their six meetings with Newcastle in the top flight.

Eddie Howe's team showed resilience against Liverpool. Fabian Schar’s late equaliser secured a point in that match. However, Newcastle have not won in their last three Premier League games and need to find consistency.
