An important duel in the bottom section of the Superliga, with both Newell's Old Boys and Sarmiento experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic "six-pointer" with the home team placed 12th and the visitors in 11th place.
- Newell's Old Boys have the most matches over the total-line (8) in Superliga
- Sarmiento have the fewest scored goals (9) in Superliga
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Newell's Old Boys form and stats
Newell's Old Boys, who have the fewest points (5) at home in Superliga, have played 5 Superliga games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 1-2-2 (wins-draws-losses).
A strong away win for Newell's against Palestino the last match, as A. Rodríguez were on target. Prior to that, an away loss at Rosario Central in the Superliga.
Manager G. Burgos Maestromey felt very clever after A. Rodríguez scored the winning goal against Palestino, having brought on that player as a substitute in the 46th minute. A late climax in the match against Palestino as the winning goal came two minutes into overtime; scored by A. Rodríguez.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Newell's Old Boys as they are travelling to their away game against Libertad in the Copa Sudamericana. That match is four days after this one.
Newell's are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 5 goals in 5 games. Newell's's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 5 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
Sarmiento form and stats
Sarmiento, who have the fewest scored goals (9) in Superliga, have only collected 3 points from their away games in the Superliga, after 0-3-3 (6 played). The travelling fans think it's time that their travel expenses are covered with some points now, as Sarmiento have lost on their last two travels.

Goals are few and far between in Sarmiento's away league games. Only 2 goals from 6 travels. The Sarmiento manager M. Sciacqua has some worries about the defense as 12 goals have been conceded in these travels.
Head 2 Head
