Newell’s Old Boys had to settle for a 1-1 away draw in a hard-fought city derby at Rosario Central last Sunday. As a result, La Lepra accumulated ten points from 15 available. They have one match in hand and that’s why the team remain out of the relegation places even though they are level on points with two other teams. Newell’s have been perfect at home so far after beating Central Cordoba, Union Santa Fe and Huracan.Â
Aldosivi is still threatened by relegation after their 1-1 home draws with direct contenders Patronato last Monday when they conceded the equaliser in the 90th minute of the game. Gustavo Alvarez’s men managed a single victory this term, accumulating only five points in six rounds. On away turf, Aldosivi is yet to earn points, having lost to Estudiantes, Boca Juniors and Talleres. Â
Newell’s is clearly the better team here and they know this is a must-win game for their relegation battle.
