Brentford bring the curtain down on a disappointing season in the Premier League, with survival being their big achievement to celebrate. Newcastle will be the final visitors to the GTech Community Stadium, as they chase an important victory in the race for a European place.
Premier League Preview
A disappointing campaign in the Premier League for Brentford comes to a close this weekend, with the Bees playing host to Newcastle. Brentford have avoided relegation this term, but they will be unable to finish any higher than 15th. They come into this round in slightly better recent form after winning three of their last five, and losing on just one occasion over that period.
They produced one of their best recent performances last weekend after securing a 2-1 success on the road against Bournemouth. The winning goal was netted in the fifth minute of stoppage time by Yoane Wissa. The victory means that they are unbeaten in their last seven against the Cherries. Brentford’s recent home form could be an important trend to consider this week, as they are unbeaten in their last five.
Newcastle will come into the final round of matches still chasing vital points, as they look to achieve a finish in the European positions. The Magpies sit sixth in the standings, but they could be within three points of Tottenham if they gain a victory in their game in hand against Man United in midweek.
Newcastle have gone three without defeat ahead of the final week of the season, claiming two victories across that period. Meanwhile, they have lost just a single match across their last five. The Magpies have improved their record on the road in recent weeks after winning two of their last three.
Brentford vs Newcastle Head to Head
Newcastle have a near-perfect record against the Bees in the Premier League after winning four of their last five against their rivals. They have record all victories in the last four meetings between the sides. The Magpies landed a 2-1 success in this exact fixture last season.
Brentford vs Newcastle Prediction
Newcastle appear to have hit form at just the right time this season, and they look great value to finish the campaign in a European spot. We expect them to maintain their challenge on the final day by securing an away success against the Bees.
