This Tuesday, May 2, Newell’s vs Santos will be looking to attain a positive result to keep their unbeaten streak going in the Copa Sudamericana. These are the only two teams in the group that have not lost a match or conceded a goal so far, and it will be interesting to see what they can do to keep their good moment going.
The Argentine team currently leads the group, and a victory would give it some room to breathe, as it would have made it halfway through the group stage as the sole leader. Meanwhile, Santos has lacked consistency this year, but it has improved in its recent matches, which could give the team the strength to face this challenge in the best possible way.
Without further ado, JefeBet brings you the odds and the prediction for the Newell’s vs Santos match.

Betting on Newell’s
Newell’s is displaying great dominance in Group E of the Copa Sudamericana and enters matchday 3 as the group leader with six points after winning both of its games. The team has not only kept a clean sheet, but also has the best offense, scoring the highest amount of goals in its zone so far.
Although things have gone well in the international tournament, not everything is going smoothly for the Rosario team. In fact, it has not been able to win or score goals in its last two matches and has only won two of its last five matches in all competitions. However, at least as a home team, it has looked a bit better, losing only one of its last five matches.
Probable lineup (4-3-3):Lucas Hoyos; Armando Méndez, Gustavo Velázquez, Willer Ditta, Bruno Pittón; Ivan Gómez, Juan Sforza, Cristian Ferreira; Djorkaeff Reasco, Jorge Recalde, Ramiro Sordo
Betting on Santos
Santos has not been as dominant as usual in international competitions. In fact, the team has attained mixed results so far, including a win and a draw in two matches. However, this upcoming game against the top team in the group could be just what it needs to fully awaken.
The good news for the Brazilian team is that it has not lost in its last four matches played in all competitions, and it actually won its two most recent matches. However, that the team lost its last away match is concerning. Moreover, the team has only won three out of its last ten matches played in that condition, losing 50% of them.
Probable lineup (4-3-3): João Paulo; Nathan, Messias, Eduardo Bauermann, Felipe Jonatan; Ângelo, Rodrigo Fernandez, Dodi; Lucas Lima, Marcos Leonardo, Yeferson Soteldo
JefeBet Prediction
Knowing that both teams have made adjustments to their defensive lines, and have managed to keep a clean sheet in their two Copa Sudamericana matches so far, we can expect a tight match where only one team will be able to score. Both teams are in good shape, but the home advantage could help the Rosario team secure its third victory in a row.
Prediction: Newell’s Moneyline (NOB 1-0 SAN)
