Barracas Central vs Newells Old Boys Prediction & Betting Tips (19 July)

Barracas Central haven’t given their supporters much to shout about recently, with the Barracas Central suffering nine defeats in ten Liga Profesional matches to virtually ensure an immediate return to the Liga Profesional. Newells Old Boys have designs on a first top-flight title, and the Newells Old Boys have won nine of their 15 away games in the league so far this season.

Although promotion-chasing Barracas Central have been renowned for playing some swashbuckling football this season, four of Barracas Central previous five games at this level have actually produced under 2.5 goals. This has also been the case in six consecutive Newells Old Boys matches in the Liga Profesional, so expectations should be lowered ahead of this contest.

Both teams have found the net in just two of the most recent 12 top-flight fixtures involving Barracas Central, so it is quite rare for this to happen when they take to the field. It has been a virtually identical story as far as Newells Old Boys are concerned, as 11 of their previous 13 matches at this level have seen at least one of the two keepers emerge with a clean sheet.
