One of the matches of the 26th round of the Argentine championship will take place on Monday at the Marcelo Bielsa Stadium, where Newell’s Old Boys will host Boca Juniors. We suggest betting on the number of goals in this match with good chances of success.
Match preview
Newell’s Old Boys continue to struggle this season, sitting firmly in 25th place with 25 points after 25 rounds. Their last match against Atlético Tucumán ended in a goalless draw, further highlighting the team’s attacking problems. Before that, the club managed to break a six-match winless streak by defeating Independiente at home.
Overall, the team has scored only six goals in the last five matches, averaging 1.2 goals per game. Meanwhile, the defense also leaves much to be desired, conceding nine goals during this stretch. The "red-and-blacks" clearly need reinforcements in both lines to avoid further decline in the standings.
Boca Juniors, on the other hand, are showing stable results this season, holding sixth place with 38 points after 25 rounds. In their last match, the team narrowly defeated Gimnasia La Plata 1-0, strengthening their position in the championship.
The "Genoese" continue to fight for top spots thanks to a solid defensive game. Jorge Almirón's side have kept four consecutive clean sheets, emphasizing the reliability of their backline. The upcoming rounds will be crucial in the race for international tournament spots.
