Newcastle United vs Brentford Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds

The Magpies defeated the Bees the last time these teams met one another.

Newcastle United are all set to host Brentford in match week 30 of the English Premier League 2024-25 season. Eddie Howe’s men are in sixth place on the points table, and they are looking to get to the UEFA Champions League spot for the next season. The Bees have shown some average performances this season and are in 11th place.

Newcastle United have just won the Carabao Cup, which will keep their confidence levels high. The upcoming Premier League games against the Bees will be a home game for the Magpies. Eddie Howe’s men do have a chance to get to the Champions League spot for the coming season, but for that, they’ll have to be consistent.

Brentford will be away from home, which will be a significant disadvantage for them. The Bees have already lost to Newcastle United once this season. Brentford have also shown some good performances, but for them, consistency has been an issue. The Bees will have to come up with a series of wins so that they can finish in a respectable spot on the league table.

Bryan Mbeumo (Brentford)
