Newcastle will play its final domestic match before having to balance both the PL and the Champions League, which starts on Tuesday. They’ll host Brentford for the Saturday nightcap, which is slated for 12:30 p.m. ET from St. James’ Park in Newcastle.
The Bees have proven to be a formidable foe this season as they’re off to an unbeaten start at 1-3-0. The main reason that I like the over here is that Brentford has been able to score on the road this campaign. Their lone road contest was a 3-0 beatdown of the lowly Fulham, but it was a successful trip. They’ve found the back of the net eight times over the four matches, which translates to 2.0 GPG.
As for Newcastle, they’ve dropped three straight matches since the dominant 5-1 win over Aston Villa in the opener. But we know they have plenty of offensive talent and I think we’ll see it on display this Saturday. Look for Alexander Isak, whose last four goals have come at St. James’ Park, to make his way to the scoresheet. I think we’re in for at least three goals in this match.
Bet: Over 2.5 (-150)
