Newell's Old Boys vs Estudiantes de La Plata Prediction 3 August 2024
Added on 01 August, 2024
The Argentine Primera gameweek 9 starts with an intriguing confrontation between Newell's Old Boys and Estudiantes!
In the first half of June, Newell's Old Boys suffered two defeats from Banfield (0:2) and Instituto (0:2), but after a month's break, they performed quite well against Barracas Central (1:0), Independiente Rivadavia (0:0) and San Lorenzo (1:1). As a result, the current fifteenth place with 11 points and a goal difference of 5:6.
Estudiantes' stats are slightly better - eleventh position, 12 points and a scored-conceded balance of 9:6. It should be noted that in the recent past, the Pied Pipers have outclassed Gimnasia La Plata 4:1, tied 1:1 with Godoy Cruz, 0:0 with Union de Santa Fe and 0:0 with Huracán, while losing 0:2 to Sarmiento.
Both teams are not prone to spectacular attacking play, and their squad potential is approximately comparable. In such a situation, we believe more in the local success of the hosts in a match without a huge number of effective shots.
Newell's Old Boys not to lose and under 3.5 goals in the match 1.57
