3 victories, 1 draw and 3 defeats. That’s what Newell's Old Boys have to build on here at Estadio Marcelo Alberto Bielsa in the Superliga. With Newell's Old Boys having lost three times in a row here, the pressure is increasing on the manager F. Gamboa.

Newell's Old Boys drew their last game, 2-2 away at Godoy Cruz (placed 7th). A disappointing finish for Newell's in their match versus Godoy Cruz as their 2-0 lead was destroyed and replaced with a 2-2 full time score. Manuel Capasso, defender, was given a rating of 7.65/10 in that game, top of the team. Capasso scored one goal and won 5 of 7 duels.

Vélez Sarsfield form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Vélez Sarsfield so far with only 6 points returning home. The records show 1-3-2 (win-draw-lose).

There were no winners in Sarsfield's previous match, a Superliga home game that ended 3-3 vs Independiente (placed 5th). The match against Independiente looked like a defeat for Sarsfield, but they did not accept the outcome and clawed their way back to 3-3. Matías de los Santos equalized in the 90th minute. As you can tell from the result, the match against Independiente was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 6 goals, will the fun continue today? Attacker Juan Martín Lucero got a player rating of 7.41 in the game. "Man of the match" Lucero scored one goal.

Preceding that game was the away victory against Sarmiento with the score of 1-0.

Sarsfield are seemingly not capable of scoring regularly on their travels in the league. They have only managed 2 goals from 6 away games. They concede less than a goal on average per away game (4 so far).
