Today, February 7, 2026, the match of the 25th round of the English Premier League will take place at St James' Park, where Newcastle United will host Brentford. After a challenging January, where the Magpies played nine matches, Eddie Howe's team is determined to overcome this tough phase of the season.

The recent games of Newcastle have shown a lack of stability: in the last three matches, the team suffered two losses and was unable to secure a victory in a draw against Wolverhampton (0:0). After the defeat in the League Cup against Manchester City (1:3), the Magpies have lost their chance for the title and now need to urgently rectify the situation if they want to get back into the race for a spot in European competitions.

Brentford's Performance

The Brentford team, led by Keith Andrews, has shown fairly unpredictable results. After confident victories over Sunderland (3:0) and Sheffield Wednesday (2:0), the Bees faced two losses in matches against Chelsea (0:2) and Nottingham (0:2). However, in a recent match against Aston Villa (1:0), the team demonstrated its ability to fight until the end and secure crucial three points.

According to the schedule, Brentford has issues with finishing attacks, indicating that the match against Newcastle could be crucial for both their strategy and defensive reliability.

Head-to-Head Statistics

  • The outcomes of the last five matches between the teams ended with Newcastle winning four of them.
  • Newcastle is among the stronger half of teams in home matches, boasting good results at St James' Park.
  • Both teams, based on past results, have injury problems, complicating their line-ups due to suspensions.

Newcastle United's team has injuries to Joelinton, Kraft, Livramento, and Schar, while Brentford will be without Milambo, Da Silva, and Carvalho.

Match Prediction

According to experts, the match promises to be tense with a minimum of goals, likely ending in a draw (1:1) or with Brentford having the advantage (0:1). Betting on low scoring could be key, featuring the operation of under 2.5 goals.

We expect that Newcastle will be able to improve their home performance, where they have repeatedly delivered strong displays. The support from fans at St James' Park could be a decisive factor in this match.
