Prediction

Newell's Old Boys are in inconsistent form of late and with disquiet off the field, it is important they improve on the field in order to find a balance in that regard.
A lack of consistent scoring has been a real concern for Newell's with a lack of reliability up top costing them in tight affairs.
Instituto picked up a key win last time out but with Santiago Rodriguez an injury doubt, that goalscoring in key moments may be more difficult.
Discipline has been an issue for Instituto with four red cards in their last seven matches.
