Anthony Gordon appears to be rediscovering his form for Newcastle after a somewhat inconsistent campaign. The winger has looked sharper in recent weeks and has been far more active in front of goal.

Despite averaging just 0.87 shots on target per 90 minutes overall, Gordon has tested the goalkeeper in 5 of his last 6 matches, tallying 6 shots on target in that span.

This improvement highlights his growing confidence and his role in Newcastle’s attack, where his pace and directness often lead to shooting opportunities. Against Brentford’s occasionally shaky defence, Gordon’s ability to cut inside and shoot could prove decisive. Given his recent form and increasing involvement in attacking areas, odds of 1.44 for him to record at least one shot on target represent strong value.

Brentford attacker Yoane Wissa offers excellent value at odds of 1.53 to record at least 2 shots against Newcastle. Wissa has been a consistent contributor for the Bees this season and has demonstrated his willingness to take on attempts when given space.

The forward averages an impressive 2.43 shots per 90 minutes, showcasing his role as a focal point in Brentford’s attack. Newcastle’s defence, while resolute, still allows chances, particularly to quick and dynamic attackers like Wissa.

Mikkel Damsgaard has become a key creative presence for Brentford in recent matches, and, at 1.44, the odds on him registering a shot are extremely appealing.

The Danish midfielder has been increasingly involved in Brentford’s attacking build-up and has taken 9 shots across his last 5 appearances. More notably, Damsgaard has recorded at least one shot in all 5 of those fixtures, showcasing his growing confidence in front of goal.

He currently averages 1.15 shots per 90 minutes, a solid figure for a midfielder in Brentford’s setup. Against a Newcastle side that allows opportunities in transition, Damsgaard will likely have opportunities to strike from distance or arrive late in the box.

This fixture is primed for a high number of corners, with both Newcastle and Brentford consistently involved in matches that feature plenty of set piece opportunities. Newcastle average 10.59 corners per game this season, highlighting their attacking intensity and wide play. Brentford are similarly corner-heavy, averaging 10.82 corners per match, thanks to their direct approach and reliance on crosses.

Recent form supports this trend, with Newcastle seeing over 9.5 corners in 10 of their last 13 matches, while Brentford have hit this figure in 13 of their last 16 games. Both teams favour a style of play that creates corner opportunities, whether through shots or forced defensive clearances.

Bruno Guimaraes has been a midfield enforcer for Newcastle this season, and odds of 1.83 for him to commit multiple fouls reflect his combative playing style. The Brazilian international has committed 26 fouls this season, second only to Joelinton in Newcastle’s squad. He averages 1.46 fouls per 90 minutes and has recorded multiple fouls in 5 of his last 7 appearances.

Against Brentford’s physical midfield and quick transitions, Guimaraes will likely find himself in situations where tactical fouls are necessary to break up play.

Brentford defender van den Berg is significantly overpriced at 1.67 to commit a foul in this fixture. The Dutchman has shown a tendency to struggle against quick and tricky attackers, and he faces Newcastle’s Anthony Gordon, who has been fouled 8 times in his last 2 starts alone.

The former Liverpool man averages 0.82 fouls per 90 minutes overall but has committed a foul in 5 of his last 6 starts, highlighting a clear trend.

Gordon’s pace, dribbling ability, and direct running are likely to cause problems, forcing van den Berg into defensive challenges.
