Newcastle vs. Brentford: Head-to-head record and past meetings

Two sides separated by just one place and one point in the Premier League table collide in Sunday afternoon's showdown at the Gtech Community Stadium, where Brentford entertain the challenge of Newcastle United.

The Bees are marginally better off than the Magpies in the top-flight rankings after 10 matchweeks, but their bid to break into the top half suffered a setback last weekend, when they were condemned to a 2-0 defeat by London rivals Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park.

Eddie Howe's side did not fare at all better in the capital themselves, suffering a surprise 3-1 defeat to West Ham United that left them still waiting for their first Premier League away victory of the season.

However, Newcastle restored parity in midweek with a 2-0 Champions League success over Athletic Bilbao, and the Magpies have won both of their last two showdowns with Sunday's hosts.

Ahead of Sunday's Premier League clash between Newcastle and Brentford, Sports Mole looks at the head-to-head record and previous meetings between the two clubs.

Head-to-head record

Previous meetings: 19

Newcastle wins: 13

Draws: 1

Brentford wins: 5

Newcastle United have not frequently played Brentford, with the sides' first meeting taking place in 1934 in the Second Division, with the Bees winning 5-2 at home.

While the Magpies lost their first home fixture, they have won seven and drawn one of their subsequent matches at St James' Park against Brentford.

The teams' first meeting in the Premier League occurred in November 2021, a game in which the clubs drew 3-3 despite Brentford taking 2-1 and 3-2 leads.

However, the Toon have more often than not got the better of their opponents and have in fact drawn one and won five of their seven Premier League clashes.

Clashes between the Bees and Newcastle have often been high scoring, with four of their seven Premier League encounters seeing at least six goals scored.

Just three clean sheets have been kept in the teams' last 14 matchups - two for Brentford and one for Newcastle - and 16 goals have been scored in their last three.

The Toon managed to get the better of the Bees in their most recent clash on December 18, 2024, when they emerged as 3-1 victors in the EFL Cup quarter-final, but Brentford did beat them 4-2 on December 7 that year in the Premier League.
