Bitesize Prediction: Brentford vs Newcastle – 07/12/24

Competition: Premier League

Market: Both teams to score

Odds: 3/5 @ 1xBet

In what could prove to be a lively affair from west London on Saturday afternoon, Brentford and Newcastle will meet at the Gtech.

Starting with the hosts, eventually falling to a 3-1 loss away at Aston Villa earlier in the week, Brentford will be seeking an immediate response here. Still sat within striking distance of the European spots, Thomas Frank’s men will certainly be excited to make a return to home soil on Saturday afternoon. Signing off November with a routine 4-1 romp against Leicester, the Bees have continued to shine with their success in west London. Heading into November’s fortnight interval with an action-packed 3-2 win against Bournemouth, Brentford have now won each of their last four straight Premier League appearances in front of their own supporters. With that run highlighted by a remarkable 5-3 victory against Wolves on October 5th, Frank’s men have gained a reputation for their frantic affairs at the Gtech. In fact, Saturday’s hosts have won each of those four consecutive appearances on home soil by a staggering aggregate score of 16-9. It should also be noted, Frank’s side have seen each of their first seven Premier League home fixtures finish with both teams getting on the scoresheet.

As for the visitors, eventually snatching what was a sensational 3-3 draw against runaway leaders Liverpool earlier in the week, Newcastle will be desperate to use that action-packed display as a platform to build on. However, suffering last-gasp heartbreak away at Crystal Palace last weekend as they had to settle for a 1-1 stalemate at Selhurst Park, Eddie Howe’s men are seeking some recent stability. Failing to win any of their three Premier League appearances since returning from November’s international break, the former bournemouth boss will also have a headache over his side’s issues away from St. James’ Park. Aside from a 3-1 victory away at Nottingham Forest last month, that is the only away win that Newcastle have recorded from any of their previous five attempts. However, despite facing what should be a rugged task this weekend, they will be excited by a dominant record in west London. Landing a 4-2 win when they travelled to the Gtech last season, they have won each of their previous three trips to Brentford by an aggregate score of 8-3.
