Prediction: 3-1
Brentford
Newcastle United and Brentford square off against each other at St. James’ Park in the closing match of Saturday’s program. The Magpies aim to make amends for a 3-1 loss to Brighton and they are likely to go all guns blazing at the Bees. Newcastle United are on a three-match losing run in the national championship, but this game could be the turning point for Eddie Howe’s troops. Midfielder Joe Willock remains in the recovery room as well as defender Emil Krafth, but Javier Manquillo should be fit for the match. Miguel Almiron is a major doubt after suffering a muscle injury in Paraguay's goalless draw with Peru.
The capital club, on the other hand, dropped two points in a 2-2 draw with Bournemouth before the international break. Ivan Toney remains on the sidelines through suspension and seeing that Newcastle have turned their St. James’ Park into a real fortress, home win should be considered. The likes of Mikkel Damsgaard, Shandon Baptiste, and Joshua Da Silva are out of contention through injuries for the visiting side.
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.
