Newcastle United

Newcastle United have shown mixed form in their recent matches, with a notable three-game winning streak followed by a dip in performance. The Magpies' last six games have yielded 10 goals scored and 7 conceded, highlighting their attacking prowess whilst also revealing some defensive vulnerabilities. Their most recent match against Liverpool was a high-scoring affair, ending in a thrilling 3-3 draw, which bucked the trend of their previous games where 67% saw under 2.5 goals. Despite their current 11th position in the league table, Newcastle's goal difference remains positive, and they've managed to keep clean sheets in two of their last six matches. The team's ability to score consistently (averaging 1.67 goals per game) has been a bright spot, though their recent draw against Crystal Palace and loss to West Ham suggest they're struggling to maintain their earlier momentum.

Recent home/away form

Brentford

Brentford's recent home form has been impressive, with the Bees unbeaten in their last six matches at the Gtech Community Stadium. They've won four and drawn two, showcasing a potent attack that has netted 18 goals in this period, averaging a remarkable 3 goals per game. Notably, Brentford have been involved in some high-scoring affairs, with three of their last four home matches seeing at least seven goals scored. The standout performances include a 5-3 thriller against Wolves and a 4-3 victory over Ipswich Town. Whilst their attacking prowess is evident, Brentford's defence has been somewhat leaky, conceding in every match and failing to keep a clean sheet. This has contributed to an entertaining average of 4.83 total goals per game, with both teams scoring in all six matches and over 2.5 goals occurring in 67% of these fixtures.

Newcastle United

Newcastle United's recent away form has been rather inconsistent, with two wins, two draws, and two losses in their last six matches on the road. The Magpies have struggled to find consistency, alternating between positive and negative results without establishing any significant winning or losing streaks. Despite their mid-table position, Newcastle have shown an ability to score goals, netting 8 times in these 6 away fixtures, but they've also been vulnerable defensively, conceding the same number. Notably, both teams have scored in 83% of these matches, suggesting exciting, open games for spectators. The 3-1 loss to Fulham stands out as the highest-scoring encounter, while the goalless draw at Everton represents their only clean sheet in this run. With 67% of these away games featuring over 2.5 goals, Newcastle's travels have tended to produce entertaining football for neutral observers.
