Newells Old Boys take on the visitors Godoy Cruz at “Estadio Marcelo Alberto Bielsa” in the round 30 of the Argentine Primera Division. The game will be played in Rosario on Wednesday, June 28th.
Newells Old Boys have lost a place in the Copa Libertadores next season because of the failures at the end of this season. The team managed to get only one single point in two recent matchdays after 1:1 draw against Lanus and 1:2 defeat to Belgrano. As a result, “The Boys” occupy the eighth place in the table with 49 points earned and 40-28 goal difference and they are unlikely to move up to the first five teams. Newells Old Boys recorded 27 points gained, 25 goals for and 16 goals against in 14 home clashes.

Godoy Cruz lost their last encounter to Estudiantes L.P. with 0:2 scoreline. With one matchday left till the end of the season, “Bodeguero” sits on the 15th position in the Primera Division’s standings with 40 points taken. And the side is possibly to finish the season settling in that part of the table not claiming for the high positions and results. Godoy Cruz participated in 14 encounters on the road resulting in 14 points earned, 11 goals for and 18 goals against.
Newells Old Boys have not been beaten by Godoy Cruz since 2011 across eight head-to-heads covering three their victories and five draws. Taking into consideration “The Boys”’ performance at the home ground, plus the rivals’ head-to-head statistics as well as the hosts’ desire to promote to the international tournaments next season, I believe that they will pick up three points in the forthcoming clash, especially bearing in mind that the visiting side do not need points badly.
Prediction for the match: Newells Old Boys to win.
