Newcastle reached their first historic trophy in 70 years. They defeated Liverpool 2-1 in the final and lifted the league cup. The celebrations are over and they are back in the Premier League, where they are sixth and two points off the top 4. They won 1-0 away at West Ham in the last round, and Newcastle's home games have been mostly successful. The team's last seven home matches in the league have had over 2.5 goals, with a 4-3 win over Nottingham in the last one.
Brentford won their last five away matchesBrentford is 11th and six points behind their opponents before the round. There has been a recent trend for the team. Brentford stopped winning at home, but started doing it away. They currently have five consecutive away wins, beating Bournemouth 2-1 in their last visit and becoming the only team this season to have five consecutive away wins in the Premier League. Interestingly, they had not won a single game away before that.
Prediction: over 2.5 goals, win for NewcastleI definitely think we could see another successful home game for Newcastle. Brentford is on a winning streak away, but it's time for them to drop points away again, and the "Magpies" have to chase a possible top 4 finish.
