Brentford hosts Newcastle United in round 27 of the English Premier League. The match will be played on Saturday, February 26th at Brentford Community Stadium (London)
Brentford is going through a difficult period. At the beginning of 2022, the team won two matches in a row, but then the results began to worsen. The Bees have not won eight consecutive games in all competitions (seven defeats and only one draw). One of the reasons for the unsuccessful streak is the complicated calendar. Thomas Frank’s men lost to all strong opponents, conceding an average of 2-3 goals per game. In the previous round, the Bees lost to Arsenal in London (2-1), scoring a consolation goal only in added time. As a consequence, Brentford is now close to the relegation zone.

Newcastle United was bought out by new owners. And they immediately started restructuring the club. The previous coach was fired, and his place was taken by Eddie Howe. In winter, the club spent over €100m on transfers, acquiring five newcomers. The result was not long in coming. The Magpies have not lost in six consecutive rounds in the Premier League (three victories and three draws). As a result, they managed to leave the relegation zones. Now Newcastle United has one task: to maintain a place in the Premier League. Then the bosses of the club will take a bag of money and buy quality performers, and the Magpies will begin to achieve completely different goals. The improvement in the quality of the game is confirmed by the fact that the Black and Whites tied against West Ham in the last away match (1-1). At that time, the opponent was in 4th place in the Premier League standings.
Recently, Brentford has lost to strong teams and has been content with one point scored against average or equal opponents. The roster of the Bees does not allow them to win and withstand competition in the Premier League on a regular basis. Newcastle has stepped up significantly. The club got some good players in the winter transfer window, and now it looks preferable to the upcoming opponent. The hosts have not won eight matches in a row, and the visitors are on a 6-match unbeaten streak. In the first round of the 2021/2022 season, the teams did not determine the winner in the shootout (3-3). Based on the situation, let's assume that Eddie Howe's team will at least not lose to the Bees.
Prediction for the match: Newcastle to win with +0.5 handicap
