Newcastle United will return to Premier League action on Wednesday night when they host Brentford at St. James’ Park in what promises to be a high-scoring showdown. The Magpies currently sit 6th in the league table with 47 points and remain firmly in the race for a Champions League spot, trailing the top four by just two points. Brentford, meanwhile, have quietly climbed the ranks and now sit 11th with 41 points, just six adrift of their midweek hosts.
Eddie Howe’s side comes into this clash buoyed by a recent landmark win — ending their long wait for a major trophy with a memorable victory over Liverpool before the international break. Newcastle have won four of their last six home league matches, and while their attacking form has remained strong, defensive lapses continue to be an issue. They’ve managed just one clean sheet in their last seven top-flight games.
Brentford arrive with one of the best away records in recent weeks, having won five of their last six matches on the road. However, it's worth noting that only one of those victories came against a team currently in the top half of the table, suggesting that Wednesday’s fixture represents a more formidable challenge for Thomas Frank’s squad. Prior to this impressive away run, the Bees had collected just two points from nine road games, highlighting their inconsistent form earlier in the campaign.

Our Newcastle vs Brentford Prediction
When it comes to head-to-head meetings, Newcastle have been dominant, winning five of their last six encounters with Brentford. The last two league meetings between these clubs have both ended in 4-2 scorelines in favor of the Magpies, setting the stage for another potentially goal-filled contest.
Both sides have shown a consistent ability to score this season. Newcastle have found the net in 16 of their 18 home games, while Brentford have failed to score in just three of their 19 away fixtures. This makes both teams to score and over 2.5 goals a strong possibility.
All eyes will be on Alexander Isak, who continues to shine with 19 Premier League goals this season. Only Mohamed Salah and Erling Haaland have scored more. With four goals in his last four appearances, including the League Cup final winner, he’s expected to lead the charge once again.
Expect fireworks at St. James’ Park in what could be another thrilling contest between two attacking sides, but Newcastle will prevail in the end. Our prediction for Newcastle vs. Brentford: Newcastle to win.
