Newells Old Boys vs Central Cordoba Match Preview

The Argentinian Liga Profesional goes on and for the 22nd round Newell's Old Boys returns to Rosario to welcome Central Cordoba targeting a win for their prestige.

Newells Old Boys suffered another away defeat, this time from the last team in the standings, Arsenal Sarandi with 3-1. So they continued their previous bad performances away from home. They want to return to Rosario with a victory today, while the away match with Boca Juniors follows.

The experienced Ignacio Scocco, who scored in the last game, continues in their offensive line. Cláudio Taffarel's team is not chasing anything in the league as they are far behind to claim an international ticket but also are not in danger in the relegation table, so they will fight for prestige in front of their fans. The injured M. Capasso, F. Negri and J. Cristaldo are out of the squad.

On the other hand, Central Cordoba after the 1-3 away victory over Sarmiento, registered another home victory, 1-0 over Independiente and showed that even now they can get a good performance. 

In the following games, Central Cordoba can collect points to improve their place in the relegation table having an easier task next season. Goalkeeper A. Mehring remains injured, as well as D. Rentería and S. Ribas.

Newell's Old Boys is stronger at home and wants to get a positive result against Central Cordoba in a no points interest game. I will choose both teams to score alternative in this game, offered at decent 1.90 odds.
