Union Santa Fe vs Newells Old Boys Prediction (17.04.2026)

Newell's Old Boys is still at the bottom of the standings, but signs of improvement are starting to show in their performance. In their last three league matches, the team recorded two wins and one draw, which certainly boosts their confidence ahead of this away game.

Union Santa Fe continues to be a stable home team and has not lost in six consecutive league matches on their own turf. At the same time, there is a clear trend towards low scoring in their games – in four of their last five matches, fewer than 2.5 goals were scored, which perfectly fits the playing style of their opponent.

When adding the history of direct encounters, where in nine of the last ten matches between these teams fewer than 2.5 goals were scored, my expectations for yet another closed match seem fully justified.
