Newell’s Old Boys vs Estudiantes: Prediction for the Match on October 01 2025

Round 10 of the Liga Profesional Clausura offers a tactical midfield battle at Estadio Marcelo Bielsa, where fourteen-placed Newell’s Old Boys host fifth-placed Estudiantes in a contest that could define Estudiantes' place in the upper mid-table. 

Newell’s, with 9 points from nine games, have not entirely been consistent, with only a single win in their last five league games. The Old Boys have also scored just 8 league-wide, with no goals in their last league game. 

Eduardo Domínguez’s Pincha sits two points above Zonal A leaders Union, boasting two wins in their last five league games. The Libertadores' painful exit still hurts the team, but they will now shift focus to domestic football. Eduardo Dominguez Pincha holds the upper hand here with no losses against the Old Boys in their last five meetings. We believe this trend will continue at the Estadio Marcelo on Wednesday. Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Newell’s Old Boys: Form and Statistics

Form in all competitions: LWLLD

The Old Boys are a bit inconsistent, with only a win in their last five Clausura games, three losses, and a draw. The last time they played in the Clausura, the game was a disaster for The Old Boys as Belgrano thrashed them by 3 goals to nil, and Maroni was also sent off in that game. Before the defeat to Belgrano, they had a morale-boosting 2-0 win over Tucumán that halted a three-game winless streak. They’ve scored 8 goals while conceding 11, with 2 clean sheets overall. 

They are currently 14th in Zonal A, with two wins, 3 draws, and 4 losses from the 9 games they’ve played so far. This match has all the makings of a cracker as The Old Boys haven’t won a game against Estudiantes in their last five meetings. 

Newell’s Old Boys: Lineup

Méndez’s 4-4-2 emphasizes midfield controls and set-pieces. Gonzalo Maroni will not be available for this game after his red card against Belgrano. Ever Banega has been a maestro in the midfield, and a lot of the plays are determined by him.  

Player to watch out for: Éver Banega

Éver Banega, the veteran maestro, has two goals in the Clausura Group A; his vision and free-kicks could unlock Estudiantes’ midfield at home.

🔖 Newell Old Boys’ starting lineup (4-4-2)

Juan Espinola – Montero, Lollo, Cuesta, Mosquera – González, Banega, Chiaverano, Regiardo – Carlos Gonzalez, Dario Benedetto

Estudiantes: Form and Statistics

Form in all competitions: WLLLW

The Pincha under manager Eduardo Dominguez finished top in Group A in the Copa Libertadores with four wins and two losses from a total of six group games played. They scored the most goals in Group A as well, with 11 goals to the good and just conceded 5, which happens to be the fewest goals conceded in the group. They secured a straight qualification to the round of 16, where they advanced to the quarterfinals via a narrow 1-0 aggregate win over Cerro Porteño. They faced a little setback in the first leg of the quarterfinals against Flamengo, where they suffered a 2-1 defeat. They got their well-deserved 1-0 win in the second leg, but they were knocked out of the Copa Libertadores on penalties with losses from Benedetti and Ascacibar. 

In the Argentine Liga Profesional de Fútbol, Estudiantes is pushing with 5 wins and four losses from the nine league games played, complemented by their narrow 1-0 win over Defensa y Justicia over the weekend. They remain firm in fifth position, even with the fact that they’ve only won two of their last five league games. 

Estudiantes: Lineup

Guido Carrillo will lead the line as he has been doing. Dominguez prefers to use a single man upfront, and Carrillo is just the best man for this level of game. No suspensions for Eduardo to worry about, only a few injuries here and there. 

Player to watch out for: Guido Carrillo

The Veteran striker leads the team's attack, and he scored two goals for Estudiantes in the Copa Libertadores. 

🔖 Estudiantes probable starting lineup (4-2-3-1)

Fernando Muslera – Roman Gomez, Nunez, Facundo Rodriguez, Santiago Arzamendia, – Amondarain, Ezequiel Povi – Santiago Ascacibar, Cristian Medina, Facundo Farias – Guido Carrillo

⛔️ Out: Edwin Cetre, Pirez, Eric Meza (injured).
