Newell's Old Boys
ArgentinaCurrent form
Newell's Old Boys could hardly have set ambitious goals for themselves in the championship, but even so - 23rd place in the table after 11 rounds is a very modest result. Sebastian Mendes' team is only five points behind their opponent today, so everything can still be corrected. Having lost 0:1 to Racing in the last round, Newell's Old Boys suffered their third defeat in a row.
Disqualifications and injuries
Ever Banega and David Sotelo remain out of the game.

2.55Tip and bets
River Plate played in the Copa Libertadores a few days ago, but it is unlikely that the coach will make any serious changes, as the championship urgently needs to improve. It is obvious that the "millionaires" are the clear favorites of the match and will probably easily take three points - Newell's Old Boys are significantly inferior in class and have recently been in crisis.
We think that the visitors have no chance. Betting Tip - Asian handicap (-1) on River Plate . This bet is offered with odds of 1.95
Bet on total
River Plate will clearly be in a determined mood today – 10th place in the table certainly does not correspond to the club’s ambitions. The “millionaires” are very effective in attack and will certainly go forward with large forces from the first minutes in an attempt to achieve a confident victory. At the same time, River Plate concedes in almost every match, so it makes sense to count on goals scored.
Bet - total over two goals. This bet is offered for 1.61
Bet on corners
River Plate are the favourites and will clearly play first – the home team should win confidently on corners.
Bet - Asian handicap (-2) on corners at River Plate. This bet is offered at 1.89
