📋 Team News: Newell´s Old Boys

The Newell´s Old Boys manager Gabriel Heinze doesn’t have any fitness concerns to speak of ahead of this match with a fully healthy group to pick from.

It looks as if La Lepra should kick off with a 4-3-3 formation for the game, beginning the first half with Lucas Hoyos, Jherson Mosquera, Guillermo Ortiz, Willer Ditta, Facundo Mansilla, Angelo Martino, Juan Sforza, Lisandro Montenegro, Marcos Portillo, Jeremias Perez Tica and Djorkaeff Reasco.

📋 Team News: Godoy Cruz

Thanks to a largely healthy group, there’s only the one fitness worry for the Godoy Cruz gaffer Daniel Oldrá to be concerned about. Gianluca Ferrari (Ruptured cruciate ligament) misses out for this game.

It’s our belief that Tomba seem most likely to begin the game with a 4-2-3-1 system by sending out Diego Rodríguez, Lucas Arce, Pier Barrios, Federico Rasmussen, Juan Andrés Meli, Gonzalo Abrego, Bruno Leyes, Nicolás Fernández, Hernán López, Tadeo Allende and Salomón Rodríguez.

🧠 Prediction

We’re inclined to think that Godoy Cruz should get enough chances to put one past this Newell´s Old Boys outfit, however that isn’t expected to be enough to avoid defeat.

We think that it’s going to be a close game with a 2-1 winning margin for Newell´s Old Boys by the time that the referee blows the final whistle. Looking forward to seeing how this one unfolds.
