In a captivating English Premier League encounter at St. James' Park, Newcastle United secured a 2-1 victory over Brentford. The match saw Newcastle take the lead just before halftime through Alexander Isak in the 45+2 minute. Bryan Mbeumo leveled the score for Brentford with a penalty in the 66th minute, but Sandro Tonali secured the win for Newcastle in the 74th minute.
Newcastle's formation was a 4-3-3, while Brentford opted for a 4-2-3-1 setup. Despite Brentford having slightly more possession (51.6% to Newcastle's 48.4%), Newcastle managed to create more goal-scoring opportunities, registering 21 total shots compared to Brentford's 12. Newcastle also had more shots off target (10 to 3), but Brentford was slightly more accurate (3 shots on target to Newcastle's 4).
The AI-powered pre-game prediction favored a Newcastle United win, which ultimately proved accurate. The AI model did not expect a balanced game, correctly suggesting Newcastle had a higher probability of winning given their home advantage and higher team rate (0.678 compared to Brentford's 0.513). The pre-game win probabilities assigned Newcastle a 52.3% chance of victory, while Brentford had a 23.8% chance.
Newcastle's recent form has been inconsistent, with wins in the English Carabao Cup and Premier League against Liverpool and West Ham respectively, interspersed with losses in the FA Cup against Brighton and in the Premier League against Liverpool. Brentford, on the other hand, have had a mixed bag of results, including a recent win against Bournemouth, a loss against Aston Villa and a draw against Everton. Looking at the head-to-head history, Newcastle had won the most recent game in Carabao Cup and overall has a slight edge. Newcastle next faces Leicester City away, while Brentford will host Chelsea.

Football fans, mark your calendars! On April 2nd, 2025, Newcastle United will host Brentford at St. James' Park in a highly anticipated English Premier League clash. But the buzz surrounding this match goes beyond the usual pre-game excitement. An advanced AI model has predicted a Newcastle United victory, giving them a 52.3% win probability against Brentford's 23.8%, with a 23.9% chance of a draw.
Newcastle, with a team rating of 0.678, will be looking to their star striker, Alexander Isak, to lead the attack. Isak's pace and clinical finishing could prove to be the difference. Bruno Guimarães' midfield control will also be crucial. Brentford, rated at 0.513, will rely on their organized defense.
Recent form favors Newcastle, who have won 3 of their last 5 games, including a Carabao Cup victory over Liverpool and a Premier League win against West Ham. However, a recent FA Cup defeat to Brighton and a Premier League loss to Liverpool show some vulnerabilities. Brentford has had a mixed bag of results in their last 5, with a few wins but also losses to Aston Villa. Will the AI's prediction hold true, or will Brentford defy the odds and upset Newcastle on their home turf? The game promises tactical intrigue and a fascinating battle.
