Brentford

The 2023/24 Premier League campaign comes to a close on May 19 with all 20 teams in action at 4 pm BST. One of the fixtures taking place this Sunday sees Brentford in action against a Europe-chasing Newcastle at the Gtec Community Stadium. Brentford head into the game as 19/10 outsiders to secure the three points, while Newcastle travel down south as 6/5 favourites to pick up the win. After finishing 9th in 2022/23, Brentford are set to end the current campaign in rather disappointing fashion. The Bees have lost just one of their last five league outings but are currently 16th in the table and can finish no higher than 15th if they beat Newcastle. The reason for their struggles was largely down to Ivan Toney being banned for the majority of the season. Since Toney’s return, the Bees’ form has taken a major uptick, but it came too late for it to mean too much this term, with Thomas Frank and co. now no doubt focused on 2024/25. As for Newcastle, they lost to Manchester United in midweek but results elsewhere meant the North East outfit have guaranteed some form of European football this season, currently sitting 7th in the table. However, Newcastle are only three points behind Chelsea with a much better goal difference ahead of the weekend, meaning they could climb up to 6th with a win over Brentford.
