⭐ Editor's Prediction
Instituto are considered clear favourites for this match, but Newell's Old Boys are capable of putting up a serious fight. The visitors are fairly solid defensively and have rarely been involved in high-scoring matches lately. The hosts have home advantage and are in good form, but are unlikely to take unnecessary risks with the play-offs approaching. Newell's Old Boys' cautious style could also limit the number of clear-cut chances. Therefore, the editor's prediction is Total Goals - Under 2.5.
