Newcastle United welcome Brentford at St James' Park, Newcastle upon Tyne on Saturday, Feb 27 at 4:00 PM in a Premier League fixture that's tighter on paper than the positions suggest — just 2 points split them in the table.
Newcastle United come into this fixture in mixed form (0W 1D 0L). Brentford, meanwhile, arrive in mixed form (1W 0D 0L) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks.
History strongly favours Newcastle United here — they've won 7 of 10 previous meetings against Brentford. Their last encounter ended in Brentford won 3–2. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 4.4 per game in recent meetings.
Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Newcastle United a slight edge, but Brentford are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
