Newell’s Old Boys vs Union Santa Fe: Prediction for the Match on November 1, 2025

Newell’s Old Boys vs Union Santa Fe: Prediction for the Match on November 1 2025

Newell coming home in need of a response to the fact that they had been beaten badly at La Paternal. The spectators in the Coloso del Parque need intensity and control, which last week in Buenos Aires, they lacked. Union, who in the meantime defeat Defensa y Justicia 3-0, finds back the grouping aggression that was lacking in previous rounds. This is shaped out to be a tight and tactical game in which patience and precision will count in the end.

Newell’s Old Boys: Form and Statistics

The defeat in the game against Argentina Juniors 3-1 was a painful experience not only in the outcome but also in the way the La Lepra were controlled. They possessed only 32% and gave 23 shots and generated 0.54 xG themselves. Their midfield did not play through the pressure and they had to make long passes and leave the ball in the hands of Argentinos.Nevertheless, in the house, Newell are much more organized.They have only allowed an average of 0.79 goals per home game and 43% clean sheets with the Coloso becoming a ground where very few clubs have left with points. Their offensive rhythm however, requires some fire. Though they have an average of more than 11 shots per match at home, they only score low, and they rely to a large extent on the transition or set pieces. Newell, whose here is expected to be more compact and patient, has been stressed in regaining possessional control on the defensive flank and tempo control.

Newell’s Old Boys: Lineup

The primary adaptation made by Fabbiani is to make Herrera drop further during build-up to facilitate midfield circulation. Also, Banega is out which is a big blow in the mid for the team. Assume that the right winger, Fernandez, cuts in as Montero overlaps, and will attempt to isolate the slower full-backs of Union.

Espinola – Montero, Lollo, Cuesta, Luciano – Fernandez, Gomez, Guch, Maroni – Gonzalez, Herrera

Out: Gigena, Chiaverano, Sotelo, Tabares ( injured), Banega (red card), Regiardo (yellow cards)

Union Santa Fe: Form and Statistics

The 3 goals that Union scored in their home victory over Defensa y Justicia was perhaps their finest Clausura performance.Small, violent, and business-like, they exploited mistakes as they were, but they also ran smartly and changed quickly. They completed on 10 overall shots (1.71 xG) and scored using three players, which is a balanced attack. Their total figures on the road paint an even less impressive picture 1.06 goals per and 1.36 goals against per game with 66% of them Under 2.5 goals. But coach has uncovered a working formula, with an emphasis on wide play volatility and a midfield that is well balanced and disruptive to stronger teams. The victory last week enabled self-confidence and probably cemented his XI.

Union Santa Fe: Lineup

Madelon must carry on with the system and much of the players of the Defensa match. Tagliamonte keeps in goal a back line of Vargas, Rodriguez, Fascendini and Del Blanco. The double pivot of Martínez and Pittón is the center of the midfield - both disciplined and combative - as Palacios and Fragapane play on flanks, and they give width and transition speed. Estigarribia will once more be in attack floating behind Tarragona, whose offensiveness and movement were so chaotic in the last round.
