Instituto form and stats

Two Superliga home games so far for Instituto, who are yet to win here at Estadio Juan Domingo Perón. Only 2 points so far.

Graciani was the last player to score a league goal for Instituto and it's becoming a more and more distant memory as Instituto haven't scored in 225 minutes.

The followers are hoping that Instituto will strike back in this fixture, putting things right after the 0-2 away loss in the game against Gimnasia La Plata (placed 21st). The first loss after going unbeaten in three league rounds. Midfield player Graciani got a match rating of 6.8 in that game, the max score being 10. Graciani hit one key pass and dribled past the opponent 3 of 3 times.

Preceding that game was the home draw versus Huracan that ended 0-0.

This is expected to be a close game, with Instituto perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Instituto as a small favourite), we find 9 games. Instituto has won 4 of these, drawn 4 and lost 1.

Early season league goal statistics from Instituto's 2 home games: {0 goals}, 0 conceded.

L W L W D

Newell's Old Boys form and stats

Still no away game victory in the Superliga for Newell's Old Boys with 1 draw and 1 loss from their first 2 attempts.

This match can not go any worse than the previous one, a Copa Argentina home loss versus Claypole with 0-1 on the scoreboard.

That result followed a home victory 2-0 versus Banfield in the Superliga.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found 14 similar matches played by Newell's Old Boys in our archives, and the results are: 2 wins for Newell's Old Boys, 3 draws and 9 defeats.
