Newells Old Boys Aim to Stay Unbeaten at Platense

Platense continue to create few clear chances at home, often failing to score in nearly half their matches this season. Newells Old Boys maintain a tighter defensive shape on the road, conceding less than one goal per game on average. Past encounters show Platense unable to beat Newells Old Boys in the last eight meetings, with draws proving common. Both sides post low percentages for games going over two and a half goals, which points toward a measured approach from each coach. Newells recent sequence mixes narrow results and draws that align with avoiding defeat away from home.

These patterns together indicate Newells Old Boys hold the edge to secure at least a point.
