Prediction

  • Newcastle ended a four-game winless run with a resounding 4-0 victory over Leicester at the weekend. Wednesday's game will mark the second time the Magpies have faced Brentford this month.
  • The Bees were 4-2 winners when these two met in west London a little over a week ago but their away form has been dire. Indeed, Brentford have lost all but two of nine away matches this season.
  • Brentford's poor form on the road should continue in midweek with Newcastle expected to progress to the next round of the EFL Cup.
