As Newells Old Boys and Barracas Central are set to clash again, the memory of Newells Old Boys's 2-0 win in their Liga Profesional Round 1 match from 6 months ago still lingers. Newells Old Boys enter this encounter after securing a victory over Tucuman in National cup last Wednesday, keeping their unbeaten run alive at three matches. However, their streak comes with a caveat, their inability to keep a clean sheet has been evident, as they have been conceding goals for three consecutive home matches now. Newells Old Boys’s upcoming schedule leading up to Barracas Central includes Rosario Central and Defensa y Justicia in Liga Profesional Round 2, and how they perform in these games could set the tone for their encounter with Barracas Central.
Barracas Central, fresh off a series of two wins against Aldosivi and Banfield, approach this match eager to continue their positive form in the same manner. All the same, their defensive frailties have been apparent as they have struggled to keep opponents from scoring, conceding in their last three matches. Ahead of their clash with Newells Old Boys, Barracas Central must first take on Defensa y Justicia and CA Central Cordoba in Liga Profesional Round 2, matches that could play a role in shaping their form and readiness for Newells Old Boys.
