Newcastle vs Brentford 14/5 Bet Builder | Tipster Wizard
Newcastle vs Brentford – Wed 18 Dec, 19:45
Alexander Isak is in supreme goalscoring form for Newcastle at the moment, having scored a staggering seven goals in his last eight starts for them in all competitions. He is their top scorer with eight goals in all competitions this season and scored in the previous round of the EFL Cup against Chelsea to put Newcastle through to the quarter finals. He also scored against Brentford in the Premier League last week and considering Brentford’s torrid away form, he will fancy his chances of adding to his impressive goal tally.
Despite Newcastle’s inconsistent performances recently, they have been strong at home having beaten the likes of Arsenal, Chelsea & Tottenham and getting a point against Liverpool & Manchester City. They thumped Leicester City 4-0 here at the weekend and go into this full of confidence. Brentford possess the joint-worst away record in the Premier League, with seven losses, one draw and zero wins on the road all season and will have one less day’s rest as they played Chelsea away from home on Sunday.
Both Teams to Score – Yes
Despite their rotten away record, Brentford have the attacking firepower to find the back of the net. They are the third top scorers in the Premier League having scored 32 goals in just 16 games and have scored in six of their last seven away games, scoring away at the likes of Chelsea, Aston Villa, Manchester United, Tottenham & Manchester City.
These two sides played each other just last week in the Premier League and we were treated to a goal-fest which ended 4-2 in Brentford’s favour, landing the both teams to score selection quite comfortably. I expect another game with a lot of chances for both sides over the 90 minutes but ultimately Newcastle going through to the semifinals.
