Betting on Newell’s
Gabriel Heinze’s team obtained four points in three games. In their official debut against Platense they draw by a score of 2-2, then they achieved an important 1-0 victory against Vélez at home; and finally they were defeated by a score of 1-0 against Defensa y Justicia in Florencio Varela.
Despite the fact that they have just lost, there is also reason to believe that this week is relatively calm for Heinze, given that they have neither injured nor sanctioned players. For this reason, he could line up his ideal team for this upcoming match.
If there are any changes, it is expected that they will be made in the central defense, since Gustavo Velázquez did not have a good match against Defensa and could be replaced by the young Facundo Mansilla.
Probable lineup (4-2-3-1): Lucas Hoyos; Jherson Mosquera, Gustavo Velázquez, Willer Diatta and Bruno Pittón; Iván Gómez and Juan Sforza; Jonathan Menéndez, Marcos Portillo and Ramiro Sordo; and Djorkaeff Reasco.
Banfield Preview
Banfield has not been able to win. It drew 0-0 against Unión at home on the first matchday, then lost 3-2 against Huracán playing away and in the third one it drew goalless against Gimnasia y Esgrima de La Plata.
If there is something to highlight from those games, it is that Javier Sanguinetti’s team showed a better image against Lobo, and was also very incisive when looking for the opponent’s goal. They had five clear chances and owned the ball for 65% of the match, in addition to 16 fouls and 12 corners in their favor. They know that some things are being done well, and that the internal work bore fruits. For this reason, sooner or later they will achieve their first victory of the tournament.
Probable lineup (4-4-2): Facundo Cambeses; Emanuel Coronel, Alejandro Maciel, Emanuel Olivera and Emanuel Insúa; Juan Bizans, Alejandro Cabrera, Brahian Alemán and Ignacio Rodríguez; Nicolás Sosa and Andrés Chávez.
JefeBet Prediction
Both teams have faced each other on 92 occasion, with Newell’s winning 33 and Banfield 25 games. Neither of the two count on a great offensive power, and with a more defensive profile, Banfield will surely make things difficult for Newell’s. That is why at JefeBet we believe that it will be a tight match, and that it will end in a draw.
Prediction: 0-0 draw.
