Newells Old Boys vs Instituto Cordoba Prediction (26.04.2026)

After a nightmarish start to the season, Newell's Old Boys have gradually found their rhythm, recording three wins and one draw in their last four league matches. Clearly, the team is starting to look more confident, especially in attack, where they are now creating and converting more chances. This gives them a good foundation before the upcoming home match.

Instituto Córdoba continues to be a rather inconsistent team, and their away games prove to be a serious problem. Just one win from six away matches and a total of four losses clearly show how difficult they find it away from home. Moreover, their matches rarely offer many goals – each of their last five encounters has ended with under 2.5 goals, reinforcing the trend towards a more closed style.

Although Newell's Old Boys have improved their performance and started scoring more frequently, Instituto Córdoba's style suggests a more cautious and closed match. The combination of these factors leads me to anticipate a lower scoring outcome.
