Brentford vs Newcastle Predictions

• Brentford are unbeaten at home in all competitions, winning six of their seven Premier League games.
• Newcastle have won just two of their seven league trips.
• Yoane Wissa has scored in all of his league games at this stadium this season.

Newcastle head to Brentford’s fortress

Newcastle managed to bring an end to Liverpool’s winning streak by holding the champions-elect to a 3-3 draw at St James’ Park but they face a different kind of test at the Gtech Community Stadium on Saturday.

Brentford have been a Jekyll and Hyde team this season with a near perfect home record, dropping just two points, and a woeful away record, as their six defeats have all come on their travels.

These two sides are locked on 20 points but Brentford go into the game as underdogs, despite their home record, and as such a home win looks a strong option for our main bet.

London proving a tough hunting ground for Magies

Newcastle did win the corresponding fixture 4-2 in the final round of games last season but they have lost both of their trips to the capital since, and those two defeats are their only road losses of the season.

The Magpies did manage a draw at Crystal Palace last weekend but they were arguably lucky to take a point as they scored with their only shot on target and managed just two attempts in total.

Wissa the danger man for Bees

Remarkably, Brentford are yet to keep a clean sheet at home despite their impressive results and both teams have scored in 12 of their 14 games in the Premier League. Newcastle have only failed to score in one of their last seven games so both teams should be able to get on the scoresheet and that is reflected in a correct score prediction of a 2-1 win for Brentford.

Thomas Frank’s side are scoring on average just over three goals-per-game at home, but Newcastle have only conceded more than twice on two occasions and can keep this game tight.

Yoane Wissa has eight goals in 11 Premier League appearances this season and seven of those strikes have come in his five appearances at this ground, so the Brentford forward is the standout pick for an anytime goal.
