Newells Old Boys vs Boca Juniors
📖 The Preview
Boca come into this one sitting second in the table and chasing the title, so they've got every reason to turn up and mean business in Rosario. Newells are in real trouble down at 14th, which cuts both ways — yes, they're desperate, but that pressure tends to weigh heavy at home rather than lift a side. The head-to-head record is pretty damning too, six wins for Boca against just two for Newells in this fixture. Expect a controlled away win, clean sheet included, with Boca doing enough to take all three points.
