Barracas Central vs Newell’s Old Boys Prediction: Will Barracas enter top 8 in this round?

The clash for the seventh round of the Torneo Betano 2025 will see Barracas Central hosting Newell’s Old Boys. Both sides were looking to get a crucial win, with the teams having differing performances in their last outing.

Barracas Central (DDWWD)

The previous round before this match saw Barracas Central play a hard fight until they drew 1-1 with Defensa y Justicia. They were efficient on creating chances, although only had 39% possession, making 10 goal attempts with four shots on target. It was a battleback from being behind in the first half, and González equalized in the 58th minute for the team. But their defense appeared weak as Defensa y Justicia dominated possession and achieved 12 goal efforts. In order for Barracas Central to win at home, they will need to better control the game and adjust their mistakes at the back.

Newell’s Old Boys (LLLWL)

The Newell’s Old Boys suffered a poor 1-2 defeat to home side in the previous round for Rosario Central. However, they had 66 per cent possession and made 18 goal attempts but were not efficient in front of goal. A defensive mistake proved costly as they pressed for equality in the last minute of the match. But Ezequiel Banega pulled one back inside the 87th minute to no avail and secure a point. For all the chances they've been creating, they've been one of the top sides in the league when it comes to not converting chances into goals and they will need to be more clinical to take three points from a tricky fixture.
