On July 4, Estadio Marcelo Bielsa (Rosario) will host the match of the 22nd round of the Liga Profesional, in which Newell’s Old Boys will compete with Gimnasia La Plata. The battle will start at 01:00 CET.

Newell’s Old Boys

The club could probably have achieved much more if it had kept young Messi at the time. Still, he moved to Barcelona as a teenager. Playing even without Lionel, “the Lepers” took their 6th league title in 2013. For comparison, the previous Primera season brought a modest 11th place. However, it also gave an opportunity to start in the Copa Sudamericana, where, due to a series of victories, it was possible to secure a ticket to the play-offs ahead of schedule. At the same time, the status quo was actually maintained at the inner arena in the Argentine championship – the team approached this tour in the same place that it took in 2022, having 1 more win than losses and 1 more scored goal than conceded. And, that is the most important; there was only one pointless match in 8 previous rounds, which allows to optimistically hoping for a rise in the table.

Gimnasia La Plata

The team stopped in one point from the play-off zone of the Diego Maradona Trophy in the previous season. And it took a worthy, as for an average peasant who has never won a championship in its history place in the Primera (generally speaking, only 1 trophy was taken – that was a one-time tournament – the Centenary Cup 1994) – the 9th position. Nowadays, the results are much more modest: that can be said about both the Copa Sudamericana, where after 3 defeats at the start, “the Wolves” had to fight only for their reputation, and in the national championship, where there were more defeats than victories. Moreover, the team started with 5 points after 7 rounds; however, it was able to add in the game a little then. The club even managed to beat Huracan at the home arena in June and keep a goalless draw on the field of Central Cordoba. Nevertheless, 7 wins and 26 points leave the team in the middle of the standings.

The statistics of head-to-head matches

Newell’s Old Boys as a whole has played unsuccessfully in the head-to-head matches against Gimnasia in recent years. Suffice it to say that “the Lepers” had got 5 defeats in a row. Still, they, playing with the guests from La Plata, scored 2 unanswered goals in September last year.

Predictions

Bookmakers are waiting for the hosts to win in an unspectacular game. Let’s agree, at least, with the first idea, betting on Newell’s Old Boys (odd: 1.86).
