Colon got their 3rd straight draw (0-0) of the season, against Gimnasia La Plata. After a bad start to the season, with 2 losses, they have now made 3 points in the last 3 games, sitting second to last on the table. Again in this game, Colon's team gave possession of the ball to the opponent, trying to cause danger in counterattack situations. Surprisingly, the game turned out to have many goal opportunities, having ended in a goalless draw due to a lack of effectiveness on both teams.

In recent games, Colon's team has been betting on a solid defense and looking for counter attacks to score goals. What has worked, as can be seen in the latest results. Colon will certainly look for the same strategy in this game in search of adding points for the fourth consecutive game.

Newell's Old Boys had a good win last round against Barracas Central.

Newell's Old Boys was always the most dangerous team in the first half, with lots of ball possession and chances created. On the taking of a corner, Newell's Old Boys scored 1-0, in the 33rd minute of the game. In the second half, Newell's Old Boys maintained their offensive pressure. The result could have been extended several times if it weren't for the enormous performance of Desabato, the goalkeeper of Barracas Central. Gabriel Heinze's team made a great performance both offensive and defensive. This win puts Newell's Old Boys 11th in the table with 10 points in 6 games.

Yet, Newell's Old Boys show a lot of difficulties in away games. In fact, they haven't won any of the 3 games played so far, with a draw and 3 losses. They have conceded 6 goals and scored just 3. Gabriel Heinze's team needs to step up their game while playing away and this is a great game for their first win.

In the last 5 games between these 2 teams, Newell’s has won 1 game, Colon has won 2 games and there’s 2 draws. In 5 of those matches, three of them had 1 or less goals.

It is expected to be a really close match between these 2 teams, and Colon surely will play to at least get another draw, but Newell’s Old Boys have a little advantage to win this game and get their first victory away.
