Newcastle United, Recent FormThere will be a feeling of disappointment amongst the Newcastle United players having failed to take any points away from their recent 3-1 away defeat at the hands of Brighton & Hove Albion. They came away from that fixture with 44% of the possession and clocked up 9 attempts on goal with 2 on target. By comparison, Brighton & Hove Albion managed 15 attempts on goal, with 6 on target.
It seems pretty certain that Eddie Howe will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 8 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 8 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games.
Having drawn 2 of their last 6 games they have at least put some points on the table, but they will not be overly happy with only 1 win.
Brentford, Recent FormBrentford manager Thomas Frank will be looking for a better result in this game following a disappointing 2-2 draw in his team's last league outing against Bournemouth. They achieved 61% possession in that match and had 21 strikes at goal, with 7 hitting the target, up against Bournemouth's tally of 12 efforts at goal, 5 of which were on target.
Frank has every reason to be happy with his side's attacking prowess of late, which has seen them net 12 goals in their last 6 matches; however, they may have some work to do in defence with 6 goals conceded across those matches.
They have been performing well recently, both home and away, and remain unbeaten in their last 7 games.
Having scored 6 goals in his last 6 league games for Brentford, Bryan Mbeumo will be looking to keep his tally up with a goal in their next outing.
When these two teams last met in the league it was a 1-2 win for Newcastle United.
