Newell´s Old Boys, Recent FormThe Newell´s Old Boys players will be feeling somewhat disenchanted with their inability to pick up any points from their away fixture against Velez Sarsfield recently, that ended in a 1-0 defeat. Their share of possession in that meeting was 45%, while racking up 9 shots along the way, 2 of which were on target, in contrast to Velez Sarsfield, who had 5 shots on goal with 2 on target.
When it comes to attacking power Mauricio Larriera will be justly satisfied with his squad's performances of late, which has seen them chalk up 6 goals in their last 6 matches. However, it hasn't all been going well, and questions remain about their defence with 4 goals lost in those 6 matches resulting in some crucial points dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games.
They have been performing well at The Estadio Marcelo Bielsa recently and are unbeaten in their last 8 home games.
Defensa y Justicia, Recent FormAn important point secured against Gimnasia y Esgrima will have left Defensa y Justicia quite happy with their 1-1 draw.
It's fair to say that manager Julio Vaccari will be pretty happy with his squad's ability to find the net of late, having scored 9 goals in their last 6 matches. That said, he will also be aware there is still work to do at the back, where they have shipped 10 goals in those same matches as well as some valuable points. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games but failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.
They've had a bad run of form away from home recently, having lost 4 of their last 6 on the road and managing just 1 win.
On an individual basis, Nicolás Fernández will be looking to cause Newell´s Old Boys some problems having scored 2 goals in Defensa y Justicia's last 6 away games in the league.
Defensa y Justicia recorded a 1-0 win last time these two sides went head to head in the league.
Newell´s Old Boys have conceded at least one goal in each of their last 3 league meetings with El Halcón de Varela.
In the last 3 league meetings between the teams, Defensa has taken all 3 points and has not lost to Newell´s Old Boys in 3 games.
With only Armando Méndez (Illness) and David Sotelo (Cruciate ligament) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Mauricio Larriera will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
With only David Barbona (Cruciate ligament) and Gastón Togni (Cruciate ligament) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Julio Vaccari will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
