VS

Stats for this game
Matchup Newcastle VS Brentford
A matchup of changing authority
Newcastle have produced some of the clearest scorelines in this pairing. Their 5–1 victory at St James’ Park in October 2022 was followed by a 4–2 success at Brentford on 19 May 2024. Those results suggest how quickly Newcastle can turn territorial control into a decisive margin, but they do not settle the wider story.
Brentford’s answers matter
Brentford won 4–2 at home on 7 December 2024, then took a 3–1 league victory in November 2025 and a 3–2 win at St James’ Park on 7 February 2026. The 3–3 draw in Newcastle on 20 November 2021 adds another reminder that this meeting can swing between open scoring and close resistance. The 3–1 League Cup result for Newcastle in December 2024 also shows that competition context can change the balance. Any future encounter will be interesting because the established question is practical: can either side sustain its first advantage when the other has already shown a capacity to answer?
