Newell’s Old Boys vs Estudiantes Prediction & Betting Tips

Newell’s Old Boys vs Estudiantes Match Preview

Newell’s Old Boys host Estudiantes in the Liga Profesional on 30 September, with both sides aiming to end September on a high.

The Rosario outfit have struggled for consistency at home, while Estudiantes arrive after a mixed run that included continental action.

With recent meetings producing goals, this clash should be fiercely contested.

Newell’s Old Boys Needing Home Response

Newell’s Old Boys head into this fixture after a disappointing 3-0 defeat at Belgrano, which followed a 1-3 loss at home to the same opponent just days earlier. They did manage to beat Atletico Tucuman 2-0 and also edged Rosario Central 1-0, but overall their form shows a stop-start rhythm.

With just seven wins from 25 league matches, Newell’s have not been able to build momentum. They have scored 25 goals but conceded 26, reflecting their tendency to keep games close but lose key moments. At home, they remain capable of upsetting stronger sides, yet their lack of consistency makes every game a test.

Estudiantes Carrying Mixed Momentum

Estudiantes travel after a narrow 1-0 win over Flamengo in the Copa Libertadores, though that came via penalties after a tense draw. In the league, they lost 2-1 away at River Plate and 2-1 at Defensa y Justicia, but their 2-0 home win against Central Cordoba showed they can still dominate matches on their day.

With 10 wins from 26 league outings, Estudiantes have been more reliable than their hosts but remain prone to dips. They have scored 31 and conceded 28, numbers that underline their more attacking style but also highlight defensive vulnerabilities that can be exposed away from home.

Newell’s Old Boys vs Estudiantes Prediction

This encounter brings together two teams that are competitive but far from consistent. Newell’s will hope their home advantage can help them rebound from recent setbacks, while Estudiantes’ mixed league form suggests they are not invincible on the road.

The betting angles highlight the hosts as a live threat, with “Newell’s to win” and a 1-0 correct score standing out. Given Estudiantes’ defensive lapses, a narrow home victory is realistic, though both sides’ scoring patterns mean another tight game is expected.
