Union vs Newell’s

After finishing 2018 with five winless matches (earning a single point in that spell), Union Santa Fe has now collected four points from six available in the new year following a 0-0 away draw at Belgrano, which allowed El Tatengue to climb into the last Copa Sudamericana spot on 23 points. However, Leonardo Madelon’s men have been unconfident at home lately as they managed a single point from the last 12 in an offer.

Meanwhile, Newell’s remain unbeaten under boss Hector Bidoglio (grabbing seven points in three matches) after a 1-1 home draw with Boca Juniors in a thrilling game last Sunday, when Maxi Rodriguez scored to celebrate his return to the club. Following that positive run, La Lepra reached 19 points in the league table. They also won 3-0 in their last away game at San Martin Tucuman, which represented the side’s first win on the road this term (with the other games ending in one draw and six losses).

This game is hard to predict as both sides are similar in general terms, but I think Newell’s are slightly better at the moment and they should get something back to Rosario.

BET: Newell’s +0.25 @ 1.95
