Newell’s vs Defensa y Justicia

In spite of having produced a worthy performance, Newell’s Old Boys weren’t able to secure points on their visit to league leaders Racing Club following a 1-0 away defeat, which means they are yet to win on the road (one draw, five defeats). La Lepra’s campaign has been irregular so far as they accumulated 11 points in as many games, but they are becoming strong at home, where the side won the last three games.

Defensa y Justicia seems unstoppable at the moment. Last Monday, they managed to beat Velez Sarsfield 3-2 at home. Therefore, El Halcon is the only team who remain unbeaten in the Superliga and they also claimed five league victories in a row. Defensa are 8 points behind the leader Racing but with 3 games less played what means they could be virtually leaders. Furthermore, the side from Florencio Varela holds the best away record with four consecutive successes and one draw at Lanus in the season opener.

Newell’s are tough to beat at home, but Defensa y Justicia are playing excellent football at the moment and they should be able to win in Rosario.
