1. Newell’s vs Central Cordoba
Newell’s Old Boys are in a downward spiral experiencing an extended winless streak of five consecutive league matches, leading to the departure of coach Ricardo Lunari. As they sit second to last in the league with only 21 points, Newell’s have limited motivations left this season. In their last home game, they lost 4-2 to Huracan, despite having been unbeaten in the previous four at Estadio Marcelo Bielsa. Now, with interim coach Gabriel Medina at the helm, they face the additional challenge of missing key players due to international duty and suspension.
On the other hand, Central Cordoba is steadily climbing out of the league basement. Although winless in their last four league encounters, they managed a draw in their latest fixture against Estudiantes. With 25 points, they are comfortably six points away from the bottom in the aggregate table. Impressively, Central Cordoba is unbeaten in its last six away games with two wins and four draws, and will welcome back winger Matias Godoy after a muscle injury.
Given Newell’s struggles and a change in management, coupled with Central Cordoba’s resilience, the latter has a strong chance to secure a positive result.
2. Velez vs Lanus
Velez Sarsfield continues to demonstrate formidable form this season. Their recent 1-1 draw away against Deportivo Riestra extended their unbeaten streak to six games. While they’ve drawn more than they’d prefer, they remain atop the league standings with 43 points, one point clear of Huracan. Velez’s home record is robust, having gone unbeaten in 16 matches, securing 12 wins and 4 draws.
Lanus is in pursuit of continental qualification but faltered in their recent match, drawing scorelessly with Platense. They have accumulated 27 points and are striving to close the gap for a Copa Sudamericana berth. Despite the setback, they’ve secured victories in their last two games and broke their long away winless streak by beating Talleres 2-1.
Velez, strong on home turf and leading the league, is well-positioned to claim victory against Lanus, who continue to seek consistency on the road.
3. Boca vs Union
Boca Juniors are showing signs of improvement under coach Fernando Gago. Their recent 2-0 victory over Sarmiento marked their second straight win, keeping them in contention for a Copa Libertadores spot. Despite this progress, they’ll be without important players due to injuries and CONMEBOL Qualifiers.
Union Santa Fe, fresh from a 1-0 triumph over Atletico Tucuman, is having a stellar season. They’ve won three of their last four matches, which puts them in contention for a historic Copa Libertadores qualification. With 36 points, they are in an excellent position and will aim to challenge Boca’s defensive vulnerabilities.
Given Boca’s ongoing absences and Union’s formidable form, it’s plausible that Union will secure at least a draw.
