⭐ Editor's Pick
Newell's Old Boys are considered favourites for the upcoming match, but their advantage looks far from clear-cut. The team has had a poor start to the Clausura, and the home factor has barely helped them get the results they need recently: the club have failed to win in 13 of their last 15 home matches. Given the standings, our bet is Deportivo Riestra not to lose. Expected score - 0:0.
