Newcastle United enters the game sitting in sixth place in the standings with 47 points. Over their last five matches, the Magpies have secured three wins but have also suffered two losses. Playing at home is a huge advantage for them, as St. James’ Park is known for its electric atmosphere and passionate supporters.

Brentford, on the other hand, currently sits in 11th place with 41 points. Their recent form is solid, with three wins, one draw, and one loss in their last five outings. The Bees rely on the attacking threat of Ivan Toney, Bryan Mbeumo, and Vitaly Janelt—players capable of making a difference against any opponent. Brentford has a reputation for playing well against stronger teams, utilizing their pace, set pieces, and tactical flexibility to create problems for their rivals.
Looking at the head-to-head record, Newcastle has a clear advantage, winning eight of the last eleven encounters, while Brentford has managed just two victories. However, their most recent meeting ended in a thrilling 4-2 win for Brentford, proving that the Bees are more than capable of springing a surprise.
A key battle to watch will be between the two strikers—Callum Wilson and Ivan Toney.
