Newcastle United vs Brentford prediction and odds ahead of EFL Cup quarter-final tie
Share:
As the EFL Cup reaches its quarter-final stage, all eyes are on the intriguing clash between Newcastle United and Brentford at St James' Park. Newcastle, eager to end their long wait for a major domestic trophy since 1955, see this match as a crucial step forward.
Eddie Howe nearly broke the trophy drought shortly after his arrival at Newcastle, guiding the team to the final two seasons ago, where they narrowly missed out against Manchester United at Wembley. Last season, Newcastle made another strong push in the EFL Cup, exacting revenge on United and eliminating Manchester City before suffering a painful defeat to Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.
Now, in the quarter-finals for the third consecutive year, Newcastle are buoyed by a resounding 4-0 victory over Leicester last Saturday, lifting spirits and hopes. Brentford, on the other hand, faced disappointment over the weekend with a 2-1 loss against an in-form Chelsea. Their only away win this season was a tense 1-0 triumph over Colchester earlier in the tournament. Despite recent setbacks, Brentford have shown an impressive scoring ability throughout the season. They possess the attacking threat needed to challenge Newcastle, especially if nerves begin to show as the coveted trophy edges closer.
