In the next match of the 18th round of the Argentine championship, Newells Old Boys and Himnasia La Plata will meet. Who will be stronger?
Newells Old Boys
"Newells Old Boys" does not manage to give out a long winning streak, or a series without defeats. As soon as it is possible to replenish the point reserves, so in the next round a loss follows. In the match of the 14th round, Newells Old Boys confidently dealt with Lanus on their field, scoring two unanswered goals, and after that, in two rounds in a row, they did not score a single point, losing with a total score of 1-3. However, in the previous game, Newells Old Boys opened the winning streak again, beating Velez Sarsfield 1-0.
"Himnasia La Plata"
Himnasia La Plata was able to score five points in the previous three rounds, having drawn twice, but even two misfires did not prevent them from catching up with the leading Atletico Tucuman and equaling it in points (33 each). At the moment, Himnasia La Plata still occupies the second line, and if it does not win in the reporting game, it can drop immediately to the fourth, since Godoy Cruz and Atletico Huracan, following behind, have two points less.
