Newcastle and Brentford face off on Saturday in an English Premier League soccer showdown at St. James Park. When these two last faced in December, it was Brentford that won 1-0. 

Brentford currently sits in 14th place in the standings having picked up 12 points. In the last game against Norwich City, the defense struggled again giving up two goals and that led to the one-point defeat. Brentford has lost the last four games and the defense has been a big issue. Brentford has scored 13 goals total while their defense has given up 14 goals total. Ivan Toney has scored two goals and added another two assists. Bryan Mbeumo and Yoane Wissa also both added two goals. In this game, if Brentford wants any chance to come away with the victory the defense needs to be good. It’s going to be very hard for them to come away with a victory in a 3-2 type of game. 

On the other side of this matchup is Newcastle who sits in 19th place in the standings having picked up five points. . Newcastle has played to a lot of draws this season and two of the last three games finished that way. In the last game against Brighton, Newcastle fell behind but it was Isaac Hayden who put a goal in the back of the net in the 66th minute and that led to the 1-1 draw. Newcastle is still looking for their first win of the season. Newcastle has scored 12 goals total while their defense has given up 24 goals total. The best player again this season has been Callum Wilson who has scored four goals.Allan Saint-Maximin has also scored two goals and added three assists. 

When these two teams faced off last December the final score was 1-0 and I expect that is going to be the case again in this game. Look for both teams to struggle to get good scoring chances, and the under is going to cash. I also would play a few dollars on an exact score of 1-0.
