Newell's Old Boys form and stats

Newell's Old Boys have collected 7 points from their Superliga home games so far after 1-4-1.

In their previous game, the manager Sanguinetti led his Newell's to a defeat away at River Plate. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Estadio Marcelo Alberto Bielsa. The attacker Balzi won the honour of being "man of the match" for Newell's Old Boys with a rating of 7.01/10. Balzi hit one key pass, dribled past the opponent 2 of 2 times and had 19 successful passes (of 21 total).

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

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Newell's Old Boys have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 12 games) they have won 5 times, drawn 5 and lost 2.

Not much happening? In this club's last 12 league matches, 9 have had less than three goals (under 2.5).

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Newell's as they are travelling to their away game against Huracán in the Superliga. That match is three days after this one.

Newell's Old Boys have scored 4 league goals here from 6 matches, not a lot. From these home matches, Newell's have conceded only 4 goals.

Lanús form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Lanús so far with only 1 point returning home. The records show 0-1-6 (win-draw-lose). Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Lanús's last three away games as they have all been lost.

Lanús's last game was the home draw against Independiente (1-1). Troyansky, attacking player, was the top performer on the team in that game, scoring a match rating of 7.4. Troyansky hit the woodwork once, served one assist, hit one key pass and dribled past the opponent 2 of 3 times.

A 1-2 defeat away at Sarmiento before that.

We have checked recent matches where Lanús have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those 11 games were 3 victories, 2 draws and 6 defeats.

The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Arsenal de Sarandi in just four days.

The visitors have scored 4 goals from 7 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. As for defending, Lanús rarely keep clean sheets as they have conceded 12 goals from these away matches.
