Brentford vs Newcastle betting tips and summary
Both teams to score – strong H2H trend
Jacob Murphy to score or assist – good form
Bruno Guimaraes to have over 0.5 shots on target – solid recent trend
One of Super Sunday’s five English Premier League matches will see Brentford welcome Newcastle to West London.
The hosts have tallied a respectable points haul so far in the 2025/26 season and have navigated their way through some difficult fixtures so sit one place above Saturday’s visitors in the EPL table.
Brentford manager Keith Andrews is meeting expectations in what is his first ever managerial job, having seen his side win three of their last six EPL matches – including a victory over reigning title holders Liverpool.
The Bees will be confident of getting back to winning ways following a defeat to Crystal Palace in their latest match, when they play a Newcastle side who haven’t won an EPL away match since April.
Manager Eddie Howe’s side have endured a season of inconsistency, despite their successes in the Carabao Cup and Champions League, they have won just two of their last five league games.
The Magpies suffered the most embarrassing defeat of the season so far in last weekend’s humbling at the London Stadium, a place where West Ham hadn’t won since February.
They have since continued their good form in the Champions League and will now make the journey back to the capital for the second time in a week, off the back of a 2-0 win over Athletic Bilbao.
What are the best bets for Brentford vs Newcastle?
Both teams to score
Both teams have found the net in all four of their latest head-to-head matches between these two sides.
Jacob Murphy to score or assist

Bruno Guimaraes to have over 0.5 shots on target
The Brazil international popped up with a late winner against Fulham and has tested the hands of the opposition goalkeeper in four of his last six Newcastle appearances.
