Newcastle v Brentford prediction
Newcastle head into their Carabao Cup quarter final having got back to winning ways in emphatic style on the weekend, ending a run of four matches without victory by thrashing Leicester 4-0 at St James’ Park.
Victory for Eddie Howe’s side moved them back within reach of the top half of the Premier League table, with only goal difference separating themselves in 12th place from the top 10.
The Magpies have knocked two of the Premier League’s current top four of the Carabao Cup already this season, defeating Nottingham Forest on penalties in round twp before securing a 2-0 win over Chelsea in the last round.
The Tyneside club have lost just one of their last five matches at home as they bid to reach the semi finals and ultimately lift the Carabao Cup trophy for the first time in their history, which would be their first major trophy since 1955.
Brentford make the long trip north from the capital having continued their bizarre Jekyll and Hyde home and away form this season, boasting the best home record in the Premier League but also the joint-worst away record.
Thomas Frank’s side’s 2-1 defeat at Chelsea in Sunday night’s west London derby saw the Bees drop out of the top half of the table and into 11th place, with only goal difference separating them from their Carabao Cup opponents tonight.
Tonight’s quarter final will be Brentford’s first time playing against Premier League opposition in this season’s competition, in which a win would match the club’s best ever run in this cup, having reached the last four back in 2021 before losing out to Tottenham.
Newcastle’s strong home form combined with Brentford’s lacklustre away record this season suggests the hosts will secure the victory in front of their home fans and under the lights at St James’ Park and book their place in the semi final, with a 2-0 victory looking probable.
