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

Head-to-head record

Newcastle wins: 15

Draws: 1

Newcastle United versus Brentford has not been a frequent contest in recent years, though the two sides' first meeting took place more than 90 years ago when the Bees won 5-2 at home as they faced off in the Second Division back in 1934.

While it is true that the Magpies lost the first-ever fixture in this contest on their own turf, they went on to win seven and draw one of the subsequent nine showdowns at St James' Park.

However, their most recent clash at that ground was an away win for Brentford in February 2026, with the Bees coming back from 1-0 down to win 3-2.

Newcastle will feel they should have taken at least a point from that clash after Bruno Guimaraes levelled the score at 2-2 in the 79th minute, only for Dango Ouattara to win the match six minutes later.

The teams' first clash in the Premier League took place 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 won six, drawn one and lost three of their 10 top-flight matchups.

It was Keith Andrews's Bees that came out on top in November 2025, when a brace from striker Igor Thiago - and a red card for Newcastle defender Dan Burn - helped the Londoners secure all three points in a 3-1 comeback victory at the Gtech Community Stadium.

Notably, clashes between Brentford and the Magpies have often been entertaining and high scoring, with four of their nine Premier League encounters seeing at least six goals scored.

In that same vein, just three clean sheets have been kept in the teams' last 16 matchups - two for Brentford and one for Newcastle - and 19 goals have been scored in their last four.

In cup competitions, the Toon managed to get the better of the Bees in December 2024, when they emerged as 3-1 victors in the EFL Cup quarter-final, but Brentford did beat them 4-2 in the Premier League just under two weeks earlier.
