Independiente vs Newell's Old Boys Predictions
Independiente conceded defeat in their last clash at home after Banfield edged past them with a narrow 1-0 scoreline. Hosts failed to make much impact in the clash and finished ninety minutes with just one measly shot on target.
However, the home side have stumbled only once in their last five games in Super League, eight points from a possible fifteen.
At this time, Independiente sits fourteenth on the ladder, one point behind enemy for the weekend Newell's Old Boys.
The visiting contingent meanwhile, was winless in the top flight. Their last clash in the street to see them sharing the spoils in a 2-2 draw with Atletico Tucuman, before the River Plate took them down at home with a 3-2 scorecard.
It is also worthy to mention that guests should come out on top just once in their previous six meetings. They did not look sharp in their events well, and have secured the bragging rights in one of their past seven.
Taking into account that the host has not tasted defeat in their last two clashes with the enemy is here too, winning more than likely to swing support Independiente come Friday.
Furthermore, the home team is not interested in racking up the goalscoring charts in their latest clash in this place. They had found the back of the net just two of their last three matchups here.
Moreover, Newell's Old Boys have been lost without so much as a consolation goal in two of the three events of their past.
Considering that the previous two games of their h2h here have a low scoring affair also had, objectives tend to be hard to come by this week.
