The Newcastle United team will challenge the Brentford team in a Matchday 5 Premier League in St. James’ Park Stadium, Newcastle upon Tyne on Saturday, September 16, 2023. For streaming coverage of Newcastle United vs Brentford, preview and how to watch it, see in this article.
Newcastle will try to recover from their series of bad results when they host Brentford at St James’ Park on Saturday (16/9) afternoon. This is an important match for both teams who are struggling to achieve a safe position in the Premier League standings.
Newcastle started this season very promisingly. They managed to destroy Aston Villa with a score of 5-1 in the first match. However, after that, they experienced a disaster. They lost their next three matches. The 1-2 defeat to Liverpool was the most painful.
It was a match where Newcastle took an early lead, playing with a man advantage for more than 60 minutes, but ended up losing 1-2 in the final minutes. Then, Newcastle lost again 1-3 to Brighton. This was proof that their fighting spirit was very weak. They simply surrender to their opponents.
Newcastle’s problems are starting to become clear. Their defense is no longer solid. In the first half of last season, Newcastle was the team with the best defense in the Premier League. But in the last 8 months, they have started to falter at the back. Goalkeeper Nick Pope is the one whose performance has declined the most. He made a fatal blunder which caused Newcastle to concede the first goal in the match against Brighton.
Up front, Newcastle were no longer effective either. Coach Eddie Howe likes to play Anthony Gordon, but this player only has speed without results. On the right side, Miguel Almiron is also the same. All of this makes Newcastle dissatisfied with the start of this season.
Meanwhile, Brentford are still maintaining their toughness by being unbeaten since the start of the season. They also performed well when they visited the headquarters of big teams. They have won over Tottenham, Chelsea, Man City and drew with Arsenal at home last season. In short, Brentford is still a difficult opponent for the giants in the Premier League.
Newcastle need a win to restore their confidence and avoid the relegation zone. They also have more motivation to take revenge for the 0-3 defeat to Brentford in the League Cup last season.
On the other hand, Brentford will provide fierce resistance, but they will also feel the pressure as a promoted team that has never won at St James’ Park. For the various reasons above, it is estimated that Newcastle will win narrowly over Brentford.
