Instituto ACC vs Newell’s Old Boys Prediction: Struggle Continues for Instituto

In the upcoming scheduled fixture of the Argentine Primera Division, Matchday 5, Instituto ACC will host Newell’s Old Boys at the Estadio Monumental Alta Cordoba in Córdoba. Going in the matchup, Instituto ACC stands 16th with a win and 5 points from 4 matches played. On the other hand, Newell’s finds itself at the 10th spot with 2 wins and a draw from 4 matches played. The upcoming contest will feature Instituto ACC and Newell’s for the first time in the Primera Division. 

After winning against Union (0-2) and drawing the match against Huracan (0-0), Instituto lost to Gimnasia LP (2-0). In the last game, Roberto Agustin, Gabriel Graciani, and Gaston Lodico looked in good shape, however, apart from them no such player was able to make most of the goal scoring chances. Coach Lucas Bovagilo will be looking to experiment with few changes in the upcoming matches. With just three goals scored in the last 5 matches, Instituto is struggling with its strikers. Secondly, Instituto has conceded just 3 goals, which tells how strong or committed their defense is.

Going in the matchup, Newell’s is coming off a defeat against Claypole in the Copa Argentina fixture. However, in the previous Matchday fixture, Newell’s defeated Banfield (2-0) comfortably. Though Newell’s Old Boys got a blow in the 55th minute of play (Willer Ditta’s Red Card Suspension), Guastavo Velazquez and Jherson Mosquera scored goals in the 83rd and 92nd minute of play. If Newell’s stay persistent and produces a fighting performance, Instituto is likely to struggle. With a goal scoring average of 1 goal per game, Newell’s will be able to score a goal at least.

With the likes of Juan Sforza and Jherson Mosquera in the lineup, Newell’s are certainly stronger on paper. The last two wins for Newell’s were clean sheets, hence, the upcoming match is likely to finish with just one side scoring. The final scoreline is expected to be 0-1.

• Newell’s Old Boys to Win for 3.20
