Newcastle vs Brentford

Newcastle United have won 10 of their last 12 league games against Brentford (D1 L1), scoring two or more goals in 11 of those matches.

Jacob Murphy (7 assists) and Alexander Isak (1 assist) have combined for eight Premier League goals this season, more than any other duo. Meanwhile, only Andrew Cole and Peter Beardsley have ever combined for more goals in a single campaign in the competition for Newcastle (9 in 1993-94).

Brentford’s Bryan Mbeumo has been directly involved in eight goals (5 goals, 3 assists) in his six Premier League away games in 2025 - no player has more goals and assists on the road in the competition this calendar year.

Having lost their first ever home league match against Brentford 5-2 in September 1934, Newcastle are now unbeaten in their last six against them at St. James’ Park (W5 D1).

Brentford had failed to win any of their first six Premier League games against Newcastle (D1 L5), but won the reverse fixture 4-2 back in December. Only in 1934-35 have they ever done the league double over the Magpies.

Newcastle have won nine of their last 13 Premier League games (L4), this after only winning five of their opening 15 league matches of the season beforehand (D5 L5). Indeed, since the first game in this time (December 14th v Leicester), only Liverpool (10) have more Premier League wins than the Magpies (9) coming into this matchday.

Brentford have won each of their last five Premier League away games – the longest winning run on the road by any side in 2024-25. In the competition’s history, only one side has won six successive away games in which they began the day outside of the top 10 in the table, with Arsenal doing so from December 2020 to May 2021.

Each of Brentford’s first seven Premier League wins this season came at the Gtech Community Stadium. Since then, each of their last five league wins have been in away games. In the competition’s history, on only five occasions has a side seen six successive wins all come away from home, most recently Liverpool from December 2020 to April 2021.
