Newcastle 1/2 Bees 21/4 Draw 13/4
The Bees travel to title favourites Newcastle in an intriguing Saturday afternoon clash. And although we make the hosts odds-on favourites, Brentford are in form and will take plenty of encouragement from the Magpies’ two home defeats already this term.
While Newcastle have been prolific going forward, they’ve suffered lapses at the back, best illustrated by St James’ losses to Huddersfield and Wolves, and with Bees by no means shot-shy themselves, the hosts know they’re in for a tough encounter.
The visitors are just over 5/1 for a sensational three points but you can back the Double Chance draw/away win at 31/10.
With Scott Hogan in superb form, the Bees will definitely cause problems so you’d have to say both teams to score at a shade under Evens looks like a solid bet. More than 3.5 goals in the game is a 19/10, with +4.5 strikes at 9/2. Hogan once again heads the first goalscorer betting for the visitors at 15/2, while he’s 13/5 to net at any time; set piece dangerman John Egan is 29/1 to bag the opener.
For the hosts, Aleksandar Mitrovic is 15/4 for FGS, with Dwight Gayle 15/4 and Daryl Murphy 39/10.
Prediction: 2-1 15/2 Bet of the night: Home win and both score 23/10 Outside punt: John Egan to score first 29/1 Enhanced Wincast: Hogan in a Brentford win 10/1
