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 Instituto recently, that ended in a 3-1 defeat. During that encounter they had 73% possession and had 13 attempts on goal with 9 on target, while their opponents hit 6 of their 12 shots on goal.
Manager Gabriel Heinze will be reasonably pleased with his team's attacking displays in recent matches, with them having managed to score 7 goals in their last 6 games, but he will have work to do defensively after they conceded 7 goals in those games and dropped some valuable points along the way. Up front, they have been showing a certain level of consistency in breaching their opponents' defences, with goals netted in 5 of their last 6 outings.
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.
Barracas Central, Recent FormBarracas Central will be happy to have grabbed 3 points in their last match, where they clocked up a 1-0 win in their home outing against Gimnasia y Esgrima. Their share of possession in that meeting was 45%, while racking up 9 shots along the way, 3 of which were on target. Gimnasia y Esgrima had 15 shots on goal with 3 on target.
They may consider themselves adept at breaking through their opponent's defences, having scored 8 goals in their last 6 outings, but they have had their own defensive frailties to worry about, having conceded 8 and seen valuable points lost. They are struggling defensively and as a result have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games.
They're experiencing a bit of an unwelcome spell of form away from home, having lost 3 of their last 6 on the road and picking up only 2 wins.
Having scored 4 goals in his last 6 league games for Barracas Central, Bruno Sepúlveda will be looking to keep his tally up with a goal in their next outing.
In the previous encounter between these sides, both teams grabbed goals, with the match finishing in a 1-1 draw.
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.
There is only really one injury concern for the Barracas manager Rodolfo de Paoli ahead of this clash, with Brian Calderara (Sprained ankle) missing out, which gives de Paoli a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
