Newell´s Old Boys, Recent FormThe Newell´s Old Boys players will be feeling somewhat disenchanted with their inability to pick up any points from their away fixture against Defensa y Justicia recently, that ended in a 1-0 defeat. They came away from that fixture with 59% of the possession and clocked up 12 attempts on goal with 6 on target. By comparison, Defensa y Justicia managed 5 attempts on goal, with 4 on target.
They may consider themselves adept at breaking through their opponent's defences, having scored 6 goals in their last 6 outings, but they have had their own defensive frailties to worry about, having conceded 6 and seen valuable points lost. Finding the net at home is becoming a problem for them, having been unable to score in 3 of their last 6 matches.
It's been a mixed run of form for Newell´s Old Boys recently with 2 wins, 2 draws, and 2 defeats in their last 6 games.
Banfield, Recent FormBanfield had to make do with a share of the points in their last match, with a 0-0 draw against Gimnasia y Esgrima. In that game they had 65% possession and managed 16 attempts on goal, with 5 on target, compared to Gimnasia y Esgrima who had 4 attempts and 2 on target.
Having conceded 4 goals and scored just 3 in their last 6 games, they have been very fortunate to pick up 6 points. There are concerning signs for them, having failed to score in 4 of their last 6 league games. They will need to tighten up at the back, having failed to keep a clean sheet in all but 1 of their last 6 away games.
Results wise, their recent poor run of form has left them without a win in 5 games.
Alejandro Cabrera will be hoping to create problems for Newell´s Old Boys in this one, having scored 2 goals in his last 6 outings on the road for Banfield.
It was one to forget for Banfield last time they met Newell´s Old Boys in the league, falling to a 1-2 defeat.
It's been a long time since Newell´s Old Boys at home has managed to find the back of the El Taladro net, having failed to score against them in their last 3 encounters at The Estadio Marcelo Bielsa.
When playing at home in the league, Newell´s Old Boys have failed to win any of their last 5 meetings with Banfield, with the last 2 of those games ending in a draw.
In front of goal, Nicolas Bertolo has scored 2 goals in the previous 3 league matches for Banfield against Newell´s Old Boys at The Estadio Marcelo Bielsa and will be confident of getting more of the same this time out.
With only Fabián Ángel (Knee) and Armando Méndez (Broken arm) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Gabriel Heinze will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
Javier Sanguinetti has a number of injury concerns in his Banfield squad to contend with: Dylan Gissi (Cruciate ligament), Matías González (Cruciate ligament) and Alexis Maldonado (Cruciate ligament)
