Our prediction for this Premier League match:
Brentford will look to finish the 2023/2024 Premier League campaign in great manner when they face Newcastle United on Sunday afternoon. The Bees are not enjoying a season to remember, but this campaign was marked by Ivan Toney’s return from a long-term suspension. Despite failing to find the net in the 2-1 win over Bournemouth, Toney will continue leading the line for the hosts, while fellow forward Yoane Wissa is pushing for a recall to the starting XI. Both Aaron Hickey and Rico Henry are sidelined with injuries, while duo Nathan Collins – Frank Onyeka is rated doubtful for the match.
The Magpies, on the other hand, are eyeing a spot in the Conference League. As Newcastle United want this win more than Brentford, we predict that the visitors are going to pick up all three points from the match. Alexander Isak should be fit for the match, while all Willock, Lascelles, Botman, Targett, and Miley remain on the sidelines.
Highlighted Player (Saman Ghoddos):
Saman Ghoddos is a product of FC Malmo football academy, but he started playing for IF Limhamn Bunkeflo at senior level. After scoring four goals in 41 appearances for the club the Swedish attacker moved to Treleborg, but he did not spend too much time at the club. In 2014 he signed a deal with Syrianska and he quickly established himself as a first-team regular at the Sodertalje Fotbollsarena outfit.
Saman Ghoddos, who was born in Malmo on September 6, 1996 played for Syrianska from 2014 to 2016 and then he moved to Ostersunds. The Swedish striker, who is used as an attacking midfielder as well, scored ten goals in 27 appearances for Ostersunds in the 2016 Allsvenskan campaign and he impressed in the 2017/2018 Europa League qualifiers.
Saman Ghoddos netted three goals in the process and helped the Swedish club book their place in the group stages of the European competition. Speaking of his personal life, you should bear in mind that Saman’s parents were born in Iran.
Highlighted Team (Newcastle):
Newcastle United failed to impress in the 2015/2016 Premier League campaign and, as a result, they dropped to the English second tier. The Magpies will host their rivals at their St. James’ Park in the 2016/2017 Championship campaign and it has to be noted that the capacity of the stadium is 52,354.
Newcastle United have won four domestic trophies (1904/1905, 1906/1907, 1908/1909, 1926/1927), while lifting six FA Cup titles (1910, 1924, 1932, 1951, 1952, 1955) and a number of star players were part of the St. James’ Park outfit in the past.
David Ginola, Michael Owen, Alan Shearer, Les Ferdinand, Nolberto Solano, Gary Speed, Obafemi Martins and Kevin Nolan are notable footballers who are still remembered at the club. Newcastle’s fiercest rivals are Sunderland and there have always been fireworks when the two local rivals face each other in the Tyne-Wear derby. The color of Newcastle’s home kit is black and white.
