Newell’s Old Boys vs Talleres Prediction & Match Preview

Steffen Schmidt - July 27, 2023

Newell’s Old Boys vs Talleres
Argentine Liga Profesional
Date: 28 July 2023, Friday
Kick-off at 23:00 UK / 00:00 CET
Venue: Estadio Marcelo Alberto Bielsa (Rosario).

Talleres Cordoba wasted a two-goal lead to settle for just one point last weekend when they shared spoils with Gimnasia La Plata in a 2-2 stalemate.

It was surprising to see Talleres producing such a poor defensive display knowing they had earlier kept four consecutive clean sheets across competitions.

Nonetheless, the team led by Javier Marcelo Gandolfi are still second in the Liga Profesional standings and will go into this unbeaten in five straight fixtures across competitions.

Talleres de Cordoba have managed three wins and two draws in the process and they will fancy their chances of staying unbeaten on Friday evening in the Matchday No 27 tie against Newell’s Old Boys in Rosario.

As good as Talleres’ away record is in this term of Liga Profesional (the best in the competition with 7 wins, 3 draws, and 2 losses), the trip to Estadio Marcelo Alberto Bielsa will represent a huge challenge for the visitors.

Newell’s Old Boys have lost just one home match in the league since the beginning of the season.

On another note, the hosts are 14th in the league table and have just one win in the last eight Liga Profesional affairs.

Newell’s Old Boys vs Talleres Head-to-head

• Newell’s Old Boys have tradition to back them up since they have won 8, drawn 1, and lost only 2 of the last 11 home meetings with Talleres.
• Talleres ended the rivals’ three-win thread in this matchup with a 2-1 success in September last year in Copa Argentina tie.
• We have seen goals at both ends in six of the last seven head to head games between Newell’s and Talleres.

Newell’s Old Boys vs Talleres Prediction

Talleres head into this in higher spirits but their back line surprisingly revealed too many holes last weekend in a home draw to Gimnasia La Plata. Knowing how good Newell’s have been at home since the start of the season, we will rather back the Both Teams To Score pick at the 2.20 odds.

Alternatively, we like the value of the 3.50 odds offered for Talleres’ top scorer Michael Santos to find the back of the net anytime on Friday.
