Brentford aim to close the 2023/2024 Premier League season on a high note as they face Newcastle United on Sunday afternoon. Although the Bees haven’t had a standout season, it has been notable for Ivan Toney’s return from a long-term suspension. Toney, despite not scoring in the recent 2-1 victory over Bournemouth, will continue to lead the attack, while Yoane Wissa is pushing for a starting spot. Aaron Hickey and Rico Henry are out due to injuries, and Nathan Collins and Frank Onyeka are doubtful for the match.
Newcastle United, on the other hand, are targeting a place in the Conference League. Given their greater motivation, we predict that the Magpies will secure all three points. Alexander Isak is expected to be fit for the game, but Willock, Lascelles, Botman, Targett, and Miley will remain sidelined.
Prediction: 2-1 in favor of Newcastle United.
