Newells Old Boys - Independiente Prediction, Picks and Tips
The second date of the Argentine First Division brings us to a Newell's that had no reaction capacity in the league debut and that before the half hour of play and lost 2-0 at home Vélez. For that match he could not have the defender Leandro Grimi and the midfielder Mauro Formica, his main reinforcements for this campaign; It is unlikely that they will debut. Likewise, Luis Leal, his scorer, was not 100% because he was recovering from an injury.
The 'leprosy' played a bad role last season, showing offensive limitations. And beware, the record is not on his side: he lost his last 4 duels against Independiente. For the 'red' will be its first league match since it did not dispute the previous date; postponed due to his participation in Suruga Bank (Japan), in which he would beat Cerezo Osaka with Silvio Romero, his main reinforcement. But those of Avellaneda will have Libertadores in a few days and the probable thing is that they do not deploy all their power in this premiere league.
Newell's lost 2 of 8 locations disputed this year by Superliga, one of them against Independiente by 0-1. Only one away game lost Independiente this year by the Superliga (they barely scored 2 goals in those 7 outings). 11 goals scored Luis Leal with Newell's in all the tournaments he played this year. Independiente will receive Santos for the first leg of the second round of the Libertadores, next Tuesday.
