Newell’s Old Boys vs Union Santa Fe Prediction & Betting Tips

Newell’s Old Boys vs Union Santa Fe Match Preview

Newell’s Old Boys return home aiming to steady their campaign after a rough stretch. Union Santa Fe, meanwhile, have regained confidence following an impressive 3-0 win last week.

Both sides have been involved in tight draws recently, and this matchup could hinge on who maintains focus late in the game.

Newell’s Home Struggles Show in Recent Run

The “Lepers” have gone five league matches without a win, with defensive lapses proving costly. They lost 3-1 to Argentinos Juniors and suffered a heavy 5-0 defeat at Boca Juniors, underlining problems away from Rosario. Even at home, they’ve managed only draws against Tigre and Estudiantes, both ending 1-1.

Across those fixtures, Newell’s conceded at least once in every game, suggesting fragility at the back. However, their ability to stay competitive in most of those contests shows potential for recovery, especially with home support behind them.

Union Santa Fe Building Form Through Discipline

Union’s recent results hint at slow but steady improvement. They dominated Defensa y Justicia 3-0 in their latest outing, a timely reaction after consecutive losses to Central Córdoba and Aldosivi. Away from home, however, their record remains patchy , a 0-2 defeat and a 0-0 stalemate at Banfield show their inconsistency on the road.

The “Tatengues” have drawn three of their last six matches, often sitting deep and countering effectively. Their defense has tightened lately, keeping two clean sheets in the last three games, which should give them belief heading into this visit.

Newell’s Old Boys vs Union Santa Fe Prediction

Newell’s Old Boys on Draw No Bet is the value pick here. Despite their inconsistent form, home advantage and Union’s weaker away record tilt things slightly toward the hosts. The data shows Newell’s often respond well after setbacks, and their steady home scoring suggests they can edge this if they stay organized defensively.

Union have improved but still lack composure on their travels, where they tend to settle for draws. With both sides familiar with tight H2H outcomes, a narrow 1-0 home win also looks plausible , a result that would finally lift Newell’s spirits after a frustrating run.
