There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
Newell's Old Boys form and stats
Newell's Old Boys have played three Superliga home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 1 point from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead.
Before that, Newell's Old Boys drew at home versus Union Santa Fe.
This is expected to be a close game, with Newell's Old Boys perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Newell's as a small favourite), we find nine games. Newell's Old Boys has won two of these, drawn four and lost three.
The match schedule is unforgiving for Newell's as they have a new game in only three days, a Copa Argentina match thankfully also at home. Sarmiento are visiting.
The lack of attacking qualities in Newell's means that they have only scored 1 goal in 3 league home games, less than half a goal per match. 3 goals have been conceded.
Huracán form and stats
The visitors are W1-D2-L1 on the road this term. That's in the Superliga.
Ahead of that match was the away draw versus Atlético Tucumán that ended 1-1.
As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found eight similar matches played by Huracán in our archives, and the results are: four wins for Huracán, one draw and three defeats.
Huracán have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 4 league away games 5 goals have been scored. Huracán have conceded 5 goals in these away matches.
