Newcastle United vs Brentford Premier League Prediction Match Details
The Carabao Cup will continue its action in the quarterfinal on Wednesday as Newcastle United is set to host Brentford at St. James Park. Can the Bees get their long-awaited win at the Magpies’ home?
Newcastle United Preview & Form
Newcastle United will look to build on their impressive 4-0 victory over Leicester City at the weekend, with the result ending their poor four-match winless streak. The Magpies will now be dreaming of a road to Wembley after reaching the final of the 2022/23 season, where they lost the silverware to Manchester United. They reached the quarterfinal of this year’s Carabao Cup by beating Nottingham Forest 2-1, AFC Wimbledon 1-0, and then followed by Chelsea 2-0 in the round of 16. The Magpies have remained unbeaten in each of their six meetings against Brentford at the St. James Park stadium. Eddie Howe’s men have been brilliant when playing on their home soil in recent games, as they have won three of their last five home games.
Brentford Preview & Form
Brentford’s horrible away form to the season continued last weekend as Thomas Frank’s side are yet to taste a win this season in the league. The Bees were handed a 2-1 defeat by London rivals Chelsea at Stamford Bridge last weekend, with the defeat making it seven defeats of the season. Thomas Frank’s men made it to the quarterfinal by beating Colchester 1-0, Leyton Orient 3-1, and then Sheffield Wednesday in the round of 16. The Bees will now be hoping to progress to the second major cup semi-final in their history after reaching the semi-final in the 2020/21 season by beating Newcastle 1-0 in their Carabao Cup quarter-final. They have been in excellent form in terms of finding the back of the net this season, having scored in eight of their last nine matches.
