Newcastle have had a tough run recently, losing four of their last five matches and drawing the other. Brentford aren't in much better shape, with no wins in their last five games, including two draws and three defeats. Both teams are struggling to find form, so this looks like a very even match-up between two sides that are low on confidence.

When these two teams have met in the past, there have often been several goals. Their last five meetings all had at least three goals, with one ending 4-2 and another 5-1. Given both teams' recent poor results and their history of high-scoring games, this match is likely to be open and closely fought. It's hard to separate them, so a draw seems the most likely outcome.
