Preview

Match preview

Newells Old Boys host Central Cordoba de Santiago in a clash near the bottom of the Liga Profesional table. Both sides have struggled to find the net this season, with Newells averaging one goal per home game and Central just 0.4 on the road. Their recent form shows Newells with a win and two draws in the last five, while Central have managed three draws and two defeats.

Historically Newells have performed well away at Central, winning three of six visits and losing only once. However, this fixture flips the venue, removing Newells' away advantage and leaving them to rely on a modest home scoring record. Central’s away form is poor, conceding 1.4 goals per match and failing to score in nine of fourteen away outings.

With both teams fighting to climb out of the relegation zone, the game is likely to be cautious, featuring few chances and a low probability of a high‑scoring encounter.

Newells Old Boys or Draw — 68% confidence

Newells have a slight edge in points and a better home record than Central’s away record. Central struggle to score away, averaging only 0.4 goals, while Newells score around one goal at home. The combination suggests Newells are less likely to lose, making the home‑or‑draw double chance the safest bet.

Under 2.5 Goals — 72% confidence

Both sides have low scoring averages (0.9 and 0.8 goals per game) and a history of low‑scoring meetings – only 30% of their encounters have gone over 2.5 goals. The recent form and defensive records indicate a tight, low‑goal affair, supporting an under 2.5 goals prediction.

These two calls are about different parts of the match (double chance and total goals), so neither one determines the other. The figure shown is the lower of the two — a combo can never be more likely than its weaker leg.
