Kick-off: 7.45pm UK Time, Wednesday 18th December 2024
Ahead of their midweek trip to St James’ Park, Brentford enjoyed a 4-2 win over Newcastle United less than two weeks ago but the two sides had completely contrasting fortunes in their latest Premier League outings.
Saving grace
On the back of a hugely disappointing four-game winless run, Newcastle United earned a convincing three points when thumping Leicester City to the tune of 4-0 at the weekend, Eddie Howe’s troops dominant from beginning to end. The Magpies remain in the lower half of the league standings despite this much-needed victory but their Carabao Cup run has been something of a saving grace for the beleaguered fans with the Tyneside outfit having got the better of two in-form top-flight sides en-route to their last-eight appearance. In the second round, the Magpies brushed aside Nottingham Forest in the East Midlands, prior to edging past Chelsea in the fourth round at St James’ Park.
First ever major trophy
By the time the final of the competition comes around it will be 70 years since the Magpies last claimed a major domestic trophy, however Brentford will be eager to move a step closer to their first ever major piece of silverware, Thomas Frank having lifted the side to previously undreamt of heights over the past five years or so. The Bees have enjoyed their best ever start to a Premier League campaign despite going down 2-1 to local rivals Chelsea at the weekend, however their away form has been letting them down somewhat and this will need to improve if they are to get something from this midweek clash. Indeed, Brentford have yet to win away from home in the Premier League while they have managed just three wins away from the Gtech against top-flight opposition in 13 months.
Poor away form
All things considered, we believe that the Magpies will edge their way to success here. Brentford have been poor on their travels this term and we don’t envisage them replicating the fine victory they enjoyed against Eddie Howe’s troops in this latest meeting.
Back Newcastle United to win and both teams to score at best odds of 15/8
