In a mid week match in week 25, on Tuesday Oct 11th, Newell’s Old Boys hosts Tigre at Estadio Marcelo Alberto Bielsa in a meeting of these two Superliga teams.

In their last match, Newell’s Old Boys recorded a 0-0 scoreless draw against Arsenal de Sarandi. Neither Newell’s Old Boys nor Arsenal de Sarandi could manage to put one past the goalie. They had 11 and 5 shots on net respectively, but no one could score, and the match ended in a scoreless draw,. Newell’s Old Boys is looking for direction having 5 win and 4 losses in their last 10 matches, while tigre is fresh off their 2-2 draw against Sarmiento. Javier Toledo struck first for Sarmiento in the 16th minute, then Blas Armoa Núñez tied it up for Tigre in the 40th minute . With 17 points in their last 10 matches Tigre should be reasonably happy with their performance.

Tigre is glad to have Blas Armoa Núñez in top form. In the last five matches the attacker has scored 5 goals. Newell’s Old Boys’s top weapon lately has been Juan Manuel García, who has 2 goals in the last 5 matches.
