Brentford vs Newcastle prediction 09.11.2025 | Premier League

Brentford come into this game having picked up 13 points from 10 matches (4 wins, 1 draw, 5 losses) and carry a goal difference of -2 (14 scored, 16 conceded), indicating a reasonable balance between defence and attack. Under new head coach Keith Andrews (following Thomas Frank’s departure), the Bees are still adjusting, but their home form remains solid - they have lost just one home game this season, collecting 10 points out of a possible 15. A 2-0 defeat to Crystal Palace last weekend ended their three-game winning run across all competitions, though that result is unlikely to dent their confidence significantly. 

Offensively, they possess a promising front three, with Igor Thiago leading the way on six league goals so far.

Newcastle arrive with slightly fewer points - 12 from 10 matches (3 wins, 3 draws, 4 losses) - and a goal difference of -1 (10 scored, 11 conceded), which also suggests a balanced game approach. The Magpies will be buoyed by another Champions League victory in midweek, defeating Athletic Bilbao 2-0 to secure their third consecutive win in the competition. However, their Premier League form has been far less convincing in recent weeks, as Eddie Howe’s men have managed only two wins from their last five league fixtures. Even more concerning for Newcastle is their away record - no victories in five trips on the road so far. 

Defensively, they have been solid in spells: they remain one of the few teams yet to concede in the opening 30 minutes of a Premier League match this season, but they have often struggled to maintain that control later in games, keeping no clean sheets in four of their last five league outings. 

Anthony Gordon is among the most notable absentees from Newcastle’s squad ahead of Sunday’s fixture.
