Colon Santa FE vs Newells Old Boys Match Preview

Colon Santa Fe and Newell's Old Boys face off in the tenth round of the Argentine Liga Profesional at Brigadier General Estanislao López. The games continue to be held behind closed doors, as a measure to prevent the spread of the Covid-19 pandemic.

After the home draw with Sarmiento, Colon Santa Fe suffered a heavy defeat away by Independiente with 3-0. They did not appear as we would have expected from last year's champions and suffered a painful defeat. Colon are now in eighth place in the standings with 14 points, but with one victory they up a lot as many teams are close to them in the standings.

Facundo Mura, who was sent off in the previous game, was left out of the squad for today's match. A difficult away match for Colon at Arsenal Sarandi follows.

On the other hand, Newell's Old Boys are coming from two consecutive defeats in the championship, as after that from Defensa Justicia with 2-0, followed the 1-2 defeat at home by Atletico Tucuman. It is difficult to expect anything to change immediately in the sporting department, at this time changes are taking place in their administrative part.

Injured F. Escobar remains out of action, while Maxi Rodríguez returns to the starting lineup. He follows a difficult program for the "leprosy" as the next match they welcome River Plate, while the next day they visit Lanus.

I expect Colon Santa Fe to recover and get a good performance against Newles who are not at their best. Easily or with difficulties, the Santa Fe team will prevail.
