Newcastle are out of the relegation zone and occupies 17th place. Now Eddie Howe's squad has a six-match undefeated streak - three wins and three draws. The ties were obtained with MU, Watford and West Ham in the last round. All three meetings ended with the same score of 1:1. The club won over Leeds, Everton, and Aston Villa. It seems that the head coach found the keys to his team, as well as questionable at first glance transfers still strengthened the team.

• Newcastle has failed to win 10 of their last 11 away games.
• Brentford has lost 6 of their last 7 games in the EPL.
• TU 2.5 goals was recorded in 5 of last 6 games with Newcastle.
• Brentford has conceded at least two goals a game in 6 of their last 7 games.

We believe that the game will be an under one, as Brentford again tries to play tight, as we have seen in recent matches. Newcastle traditionally turn matches into shutouts That's why we find it hard to believe in high scoring. In addition, the Magpies have significant losses. In this regard, we recommend to bet on the total under 2.5.

Also we think that the series of Brentford and Newcastle will last, as the Magpies are highly motivated right now. Anyway, it will not be easy for the visiting team. That is why we suggest a zero handicap for the guests.

In conclusion we expect the first half to end in a draw, as with each round the price of error increases, as well as the responsibility.
