Brentford v Newcastle

Brentford vs Newcastle Preview

Brentford will be looking to bounce back from their midweek 3-1 loss away from home at Aston Villa on Saturday afternoon when The Bees return to their Gtech Community Stadium for this upcoming clash against Newcastle United with the prospect of goals very much on the agenda in the nation's capital.

Newcastle United's winless run in the Premier League extended to three games during the week when The Magpies were involved in a high-scoring but thoroughly entertaining 3-3 draw at home with Liverpool but despite that encouraging point, the north-east club remain in a mid-table position.

Brentford had previously put together a three-match unbeaten sequence in the Premier League which included important wins against Bournemouth and Leicester City in 3-2 and 4-1 victories respectively, along with gaining a point by way of a 0-0 draw away from home at Everton.

That 0-0 stalemate away from home at Goodison Park is a rare commodity indeed though where Brentford have been concerned this season as both teams have scored in no fewer than 12 out of Brentford's total of 14 matches played to date in the Premier League.

In addition, eight out of Brentford's last 10 home games have also resulted in both teams hitting the back of the net.

Newcastle United were involved in a second score-draw on the trot in midweek in the Premier League as they gained a point against an in-form Liverpool outfit which followed a previous 1-1 draw away from home at Crystal Palace.

However, Eddie Howe's side have managed to capture just two wins from their previous 10 games overall in the English top flight which came about by way of wins against Arsenal and Nottingham Forest but having also succumbed to four defeats within this 10-game period as well, The Magpies cannot be completely trusted for the three points on Saturday.

Results away from home so far this season have further underlined Newcastle United's inconsistent streak as the north-east club have registered two wins, drawn three but also lost twice as well, along with goals for and against on the road both level-pegging at nine goals apiece.

Instead, the goals market beckons for this upcoming fixture with Brentford as six out of Newcastle United's last 10 matches overall have also resulted in both teams scoring, and considering the number of goals having been scored already at the Gtech Community Stadium (34 goals in seven games to date at an average of 4.86 goals per game), further goals are anticipated!
