Playing with an impressive formation of 4-2-3-1, Newell’s is likely to make changes to its lineup, as they failed to score an equalizer against Defensa in their last outing. Reasco, Portillo, Sordo, and Gomez will have to take charge of themselves and produce something peculiar.

Banfield is among the few remaining teams in the Argentine Primera Division, which are struggling to find the first win for the season.
