💰 Brentford v Newcastle Best Bets
Referee Simon Hooper, who has brandished a minimum of three cards in eight of his last ten Premier League matches, has been appointed to officiate this game. Thus, over 2.5 cards at 1.67 with Betfair is our best bet here – a bet which won comfortably when the pair met in September, with eight cards being shown. Additionally, strong value lies with over 1.5 away cards at 2.20 with Betfair, with Newcastle picking up at least two yellows in all of their last four away league outings, as well as when they faced Brentford earlier this season.
