Platense vs Newell’s Old Boys Predictions and Free Tips from our expert tipsters when the teams go head-to-head in Argentina Liga Profesional on Sunday, 29 January 2023.
Platense ended their previous campaign on such a disastrous note that they have a single win to their name at home after July.
Meanwhile, the Old Boys were much more clinical with their opportunities, and also finished much higher in the table. They also consistently found the back of the net throughout their run.
The Old Boys have a perfect winning record – barring a single draw. While the latest meeting between the two ended in a 1-1 draw, every other clash ended in a win for Newell’s.
As mentioned, the Old Boys have a terrific h2h record against this opponent, and are also in much better form. They have a single loss to their name in their past six league fixtures.
However, Platense are on an eight-game winless run, and five of these were losses. In fact, they remained winless in 15 of their past 18 fixtures, and they are considered to be one of the weakest in the whole Argentine top flight.
Likely, expect a win for Newell’s this Sunday.
Platense conceded two or more goals in four of their past five games, and not once did they ever keep a clean sheet in an h2h encounter.
Meanwhile, the Old Boys scored two or more goals in two of their past four fixtures, and even registered a 3-1 win in an h2h clash just a few months before.
Likely, goals are expected quite in plenty this weekend.
The latest h2h meeting at this stadium ended in a 1-1 draw, while Newell’s were able to register just three clean sheets on the road since June of 2022.
Do also take into account the fact that Platense failed to find the back of the net just once in their last five fixtures.
The Old Boys have a near-perfect h2h record against this opponent. In fact, barring a single draw, they have a 100% winning streak in h2h meetings.
Moreover, they lost just once in their last six fixtures, and have a 100% unbeaten record on the road after September. As a matter of fact, barring another draw, this also becomes a 100% winning record.
Meanwhile, Platense lost four of their past five overall games, and remained winless in seven of their former eight fixtures. And most of all, they were able to win just four times at home since February of 2022.
Likely, a win for Newell’s Old Boys at an odd of 3.00 looks quite promising
Going on, both teams have not been impressive with their defense. The latest h2h encounter at this venue ended in a 1-1 draw, while all but one h2h clash between the two teams had goals from both sides of the pitch.
Seldom have the two teams kept clean sheets lately, and with the new campaign about to start, either squad will be determined for a win. Chances are quite high for goals to come from either end of the pitch. And the odds for Both Teams to Score are placed at 2.20.
