THE PREDICTION
You’d have to go back to 1955 for the last time Newcastle won a major domestic trophy, which puts into perspective just how long it has been since fans of the Magpies saw their team lift silverware on the big stage. That fact alone makes this a huge game for Newcastle away to Championship side Brentford, with a place in the Carabao Cup semi-finals at stake. The Bees are flying high in the second tier of English football, having not lost in their last 13 league games. Whilst a division may separate these two teams, there is likely to be very little between the two sides on the pitch. Therefore, a close encounter is expected and it wouldn’t be at all surprising if the match finished level and penalties are needed to decide the outcome.
