Defensa y Justicia vs Newell’s
Defensa y Justicia rescued a point on a rough visit to Gimnasia LP following a 1-1 draw thanks to Eugenio Isnaldo’s strike in the 70th minute. Following that result, the team managed seven points in four rounds (having lost a single game) and are occupying sixth place in the group B table, trailing the playoff zone by a single point. El Halcon haven’t lost any of their last five home matches in league action, having won four and drawn one since losing 3-2 to CA Central Cordoba in November 2020.
Newell’s Old Boys extended their winless streak to six league games (one draw and five defeats) following a 2-1 home loss to Independiente in round four, which left them occupying the penultimate spot in group B on a single point in four rounds. Coach Frank Kudelka could be in danger if the team don’t improve soon. On away turf, La Lepra are on three games without a win, having drawn one and lost two.
Can’t see this very poor Newell’s getting anything against a solid and good team like this Defensa.
