📰 Team News: Estudiantes de La Plata

There is just a single fitness concern for the Estudiantes de La Plata manager Ricardo Zielinski to be concerned about from a near full-strength group. Ezequiel Muñoz (Ruptured cruciate ligament) misses out.

In our view, Los Pincharratas look set to line up in a 4-4-2 formation, beginning the first half with Mariano Andujar, Leonardo Godoy, Agustín Rogel, Fabián Noguera, Emmanuel Mas, Manuel Castro, Fernando Zuqui, Jorge Rodriguez, Matías Pellegrini, Brian Orosco and Mauro Boselli.

📰 Team News: Newell´s Old Boys

Owing to a fully injury-free squad available to choose from, the Newell´s Old Boys boss Javier Sanguinetti has zero fitness concerns at all coming into this game.

We’re of the thinking that La Lepra seem likely to elect for a 4-3-3 lineup, going with Ramiro Macagno, Cristian Lema, Gustavo Velázquez, Willer Ditta, Facundo Mansilla, Julián Fernández, Leonel Vangioni, Juan Sforza, Ramiro Sordo, Juan Manuel Garcia and Francisco Gonzalez.
