Newcastle United host Brentford on Premier League matchday No. 9 with both clubs in midtable. The Magpies are seventh in the Premier League table ahead of the weekend and could crack the top four with a win and results going their way elsewhere.
Brentford are 10th in the table and just one point behind Newcastle United. The Bees could crack the top five with a win and results going their way elsewhere. Brentford go into the fixture winless in back-to-back games in the league.
Just one of the Bees’ last six matches in the league finished as a win. Brentford drew nil-nil with Bournemouth on matchday No. 8.
Newcastle United are fresh off a 4-1 win against Fulham at Craven Cottage. The Magpies had only one win in their last six matches in the Premier League. Five of Newcastle’s last six matches in the league ended without a defeat.
The Magpies went unbeaten against Brentford last season in the league. Newcastle drew 3-3 with Brentford at St. James’ Park before posting a 2-0 win away in London.
Eddie Howe will be without striker Alexander Isak due to a thigh injury. Midfielder Jonjo Shelvey will also miss the fixture due to an injury.
Forward Allan Saint-Maximin should be available following a leg injury. However, Matt Ritchie, Karl Darlow, and Emil Krath are all set to miss the fixture through injury.
Frank has five players on the injury list ahead of Saturday’s match. Christian Norgaard and Pontus Jansson will miss the game following leg injuries.
Ethan Pinnock should be fit to play, while Sergio Canos is likely to be available after a thigh injury. Forward Keane Lewis-Potter will miss the game.
Brentford failed to win their four opening away games in the league. They managed three draws in four road matches, scored five goals, and conceded six times. Brentford’s last two matches on the road ended with under 2.5 goals scored.
Newcastle are unbeaten at home this campaign. They picked up six points from their opening four games with a win and three draws. The Magpies scored six times and conceded four goals at St. James’ Park in four games.
However, three of those six goals were against Manchester City. Three of Newcastle’s four home matches finished with under 2.5 goals scored.
Saturday’s match at St. James’ Park should finish with under 2.5 goals, as Newcastle and Brentford finish nil-nil.
