A return to winning ways is the agenda for both Newell’s Old Boys and Boca Juniors as they meet in Liga Profesional on Monday. Visitors Boca approach this match sitting 14th with a game in hand on Newell’s, who are seventh. Seven times in the last 10 meetings between these sides, this fixture produced under 2.5 goals, and our prediction backs another low-scoring game.

The Apertura wasn’t great for Newell's, as they finished 14th in Group A, and the target is to do better this time. They started the Clausura well, beating Talleres Cordoba 1-0.

However, on matchday two they fell 1-0 to Independiente. Their home form hasn’t been great either, Newell’s winning just two of their last nine in the league.

Boca Juniors were among the best performers in the Apertura, but their playoff campaign ended at the last 16 stage. Their chase for another top eight finish started on the wrong footing as they suffered a 3-0 defeat at Deportivo Riestra.

They are faced with a second straight away game, and there will be much positivity, Boca having won four of their last five away league matches. In the Apertura, they were actually the best-performing away team.

Such stats work well in their favor coming into this encounter, as they have beaten Newell’s in seven of their last 10 meetings. Boca lost twice in their last four visits here, though.

Our Newell's Old Boys vs Boca Juniors Prediction

Boca Juniors have been the dominant side in this fixture but have had their shaky moments as well. For example, the visitors come into this game having failed to score in four of their last six away matches in all competitions. They face a side with three clean sheets in the last four home league matches.

However, Newell’s themselves failed to score in half of their last eight home games in all competitions. Such runs have contributed to nine of Newell’s last 10 home games producing under three goals. Our prediction for Newell’s Old Boys v Boca Juniors is under 2.5 goals & BTTS – No.
