Brentford’s form this season has been very “Jekyll and Hyde.” However, we think it will be the former at the weekend as they host Newcastle United.
Despite the excellent draw in midweek, Brentford's home record is simply too fantastic and will pose some discomfort to Newcastle United. This season, Brentford won six of their seven home games at the GTECH Community Stadium, giving them the best home record in the Premier League, ahead of Liverpool. The Bees have scored 22 goals at home this season.
However, they are prone to conceding as Thomas Frank's side have conceded 12 in seven home league games. The Magpies are winless in their previous three and are without a clean sheet in four. Expect goals in this fixture, as both teams scored in nine of the last ten involving Brentford and over 2.5 goals in four of the previous five involving the Bees.
We predict a high-scoring game between these two sides, and with Brentford having a superior home advantage, we are looking at a 3-2 win for the Bees.
Brentford 3-2 Newcastle United.
