Newcastle vs Brentford: Match Preview
After the international break, neither team played during the first weekend. However, before the break, Newcastle secured a historic victory in the English Football League Cup final, defeating Liverpool to win their first trophy in 70 years. They’ve also been performing well in the Premier League, sitting fifth with 47 points after 28 rounds. They’re just one point behind fourth place and two behind third. With a game in hand, Newcastle occupies the fourth spot based on points lost, giving them a chance to secure a Champions League spot.
Brentford, though lower in the table, is in a promising position. Currently in 11th place with 41 points from 29 rounds, they’re just six points away from the European competition zone. With a positive result, Brentford could push for a spot in Europe. The team has been particularly strong away, remaining unbeaten in their last six away games and winning the last five. Their strong away form has helped them climb the table and keep their European hopes alive, but breaking into the European zone will be a tough challenge.
