Newells Old Boys vs Lanus tips and predictions

Newells Old Boys fancy the win

It's 15th placed Newells Old Boys versus 28th placed Lanus in this Liga Profesional clash as the hosts look to add to the 10 points between the sides.

This looks destined to be an eagerly contested little tussle. After looking at the prices available this home squad is backed to get the job done.

Whether it's significant or not, Newells Old Boys might have reasons to be confident about adding to Lanus's woes. The visitors are on a poor streak away from home; they've lost all of their last 7 assingment on the road. They've been facing different opposition but that doesn't look like the record of a team that has prepared correctly for this.

The home side has been watertight in defence and they have kept a clean sheet in 13 of their last 19 home games. At the same time their opposition here has had some disruption in defence lately. Away from home Lanus have conceded two or more goals in 6 of their last 7 assignments.

The last time these two sides met was in September when Newells Old Boys won with a 2-1 scoreline. Lanus will be keen to exact some revenge as their latest defeat means that Newells Old Boys have won all of the last 4 fixtures between these sides. It might not be significant but the head-to-head stats favour another home win.

It's possible this is a match that will simply depend on which side starts the match more brightly. You will not be alone if you're predicting that one of these sides will park the bus as the match is likely to be tight. The BTTS No could be a good shout.
