Gimnasia y Esgrima Mendoza and Newell's Old Boys come into this match level on 17 points from 11 games, with the hosts in 14th place and the visitors in 13th. Their last meeting in March went 1-0 to Newell's Old Boys, so this is a game both sides need points from to climb out of mid-table. The hosts have had clear problems in attack lately, having lost one in a row and gone four games without a win, including a 0-3 defeat last time out, while the visitors are still unbeaten in their last five. They have drawn four of those and won only one, but their defence is solid enough, with 11 scored and 8 conceded over the season. This should be a game where the hosts try to open up, but Newell's Old Boys are likely to sit deep in a block and wait for the counter. If the hosts score first, the game could open up into more of an exchange, but if the visitors hold out until late, it will probably finish with few goals.
