Olimpo vs Newells

This is a game between a team that has been relegated (Olimpo) against a club that is fighting for the championship (Newell’s). The gap between the two club’s quality is huge. In their form, the difference is even greater, with their last 6 games Newell’s has the best record in the division (3 wins, 3 draws). The only statistic that is against Newell’s in this case is the history between the two club’s games (3-3-1 for Olimpo at home), which is why we have high odds for a Newell’s away win.

 

Olimpo has 5 straight defeats and its clear that in their game is mainly defensive, which is the main cause of their defeats since their fitness does not allow them to play quality defense for 90mins. In the squad there are internal problems, with their captain setting statements against his teammates and administration and thus in theory he won’t be part of the club next year. For today’s game, Olimpo has three returns (attacker Franzoia, stopper Dias and attacker Laso). Two continuous absences still remain (attacker Bareiro and back Casais).

 

Newells Old Boys have a good run in the championship so far. However, they are a bit lucky too, as they were in the draw against All Boys (1-1 with a goal at 92′). They seem to be undefeated in their last 8 games (5 wins, 3 draws). We have two returns in the starting-11: Stopper Vergini and basic midfielder Perez are coming back to the squad, however the team is not that greatly affected, since the stoppers Lopez and young Ortiz are missing, along with midfielder Mateo.

 

I believe that the game will depend on Newells appetite for a win. The game will be in their hands as the difference of the two teams is great. I believe that a win against Olimpo is highly possible and the odds of 2.10 by Bet365 is an “I-will-take-it-thank-you” bet.
