Newells Old Boys take on the visitors Estudiantes in the round 6 match of Copa De La Liga Professional. The match will be played on Sunday, September 24th at Estadio Marcelo Bielsa (Rosario).
Newell's Old Boys have had a decent start in the tournament. The Lepers are a six-time champion of the country, but recently, they have shown rather modest results. This was evident in the Argentine Primera División, where the popular club finished outside the top 10, in a modest fourteenth position, with 35 points in 27 matches. They were also eliminated from the Copa Sudamericana in the round of 16, losing to Corinthians (1-2 in Brazil, 0-0 at home). However, in the current tournament, they managed to start with a couple of wins against Central Córdoba and Lanús. After that, they had only drawn matches, with 1-1 results against Belgrano and Unión Santa Fe. In the previous round, they even lost to Racing Club.

Estudiantes seemed to relax after a decent performance in the Primera División. The Rats finished just one point shy of the top three in the regular championship - they, along with Lanús, collected 45 points, while San Lorenzo had 46. However, it seems that they expended a lot of energy, especially as they had to compete in various tournaments. They were able to knock out Independiente in the Copa Sudamericana round of 16, but it went to penalties. However, in the Copa Diego Maradona, they started with three losses and only managed a 1-1 draw against Tigre later on. In the previous round, they played a goalless draw against San Lorenzo.
Newell's Old Boys won three times in a row in 2020-2022. However, in April, Estudiantes defeated them 3-0 at home. Newell's Old Boys are slowing down, while Estudiantes remains competitive. Let's bet that in this match, the guests will manage not to lose.
Prediction for the match: Estudiantes not to lose (X2).
