This promises to be an action-packed encounter for Newell's Old Boys at Estadio Marcelo Alberto Bielsa when the Copa Sudamericana tournament arrives in town and Atlético GO with it. Read all about the Group Stage match here!
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
These teams have little in common geographically as Atlético GO have to travel 2500 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
