On June 12, Estadio Marcelo Bielsa (Rosario) will host the match of the 20th round of the Liga Profesional, in which Newell’s Old Boys will compete with Union de Santa Fe. The battle will start at 19:00 CET.

Newell’s Old Boys

The team has repeatedly been the champion of the country and the finalist of the Copa Libertadores. Still, it achieved the lion’s share of success in the 80s and 90s of the previous century. Speaking about the current titles, they were only in the Primera (in 2004 and 2013) and were followed by the mediocre results. For instance, “the Lepers” finished the previous Liga Profesional in the 11th position. The higher mentioned result sent the Argentinian club to the Copa Sudamericana, where it played in a beautiful manner, defeating all opponents. The battle against Santos, which took place in the midst of the week, was also victorious – 2-1. At the same time, the inner arena brings no good: “NOB” was stopped in the Copa Argentina pretty quickly and shows mediocre performance in the Primera: 7 wins, 6 losses and draws resulted in a minimal positive balance of goals – 16-15. It is high time to improve the situation!

Union de Santa Fe

The club, taking into account its history, was either promoted to the Primera or relegated out of it. Only 2014 gave an opportunity to come back from the second division, and “El club de la Avenida” manages to consistently get enough points to remain in the elite league of the country. For instance, it was possible to finish in the 22nd position out of 28 participants in 2022. Nowadays, Gabriel Heinze’s wards are trying to compensate for the disastrous starting period, when they won only 1 match out of 15 (a 2-0 victory taken at the home arena in the battle against Estudiantes), gaining only 9 points. The previous rounds brought the same amount of points – the away struggles with Central Cordoba and Huracan were won with the same 1-0 scores and a home battle against Gimnasia from La Plata resulted in a 2-0 success.

The statistics of head-to-head matches

Union has won only 2 of 13 previous matches. It is reasonable to mention that 1 of those rare wins happened in April of the previous year.

Predictions

Bookmakers consider Newell’s Old Boys, which will play at the home arena, to be a clear favourite of the confrontation. Still, the guests, taking into account recent weeks, are also in a good shape in recent weeks. Thus, it makes sense to bet on “both teams to score: yes” (odd: 2.36).
