Newell's drawing eight of their last 20 says they're hard to beat, but it also means they're not turning many games into wins. Gimnasia's numbers show slightly more goals at both ends, but neither side looks to be in noticeably better shape than the other right now.

Both attacks have found the net regularly, so a goalless stalemate looks unlikely on this evidence.

Comparative Team Statistics: Gimnasia M. vs Newells Old Boys

Just the one meeting on record

The only previous match between these two sides in the data we have came in March 2026, when Newell's Old Boys beat Gimnasia M. 1-0 on their own ground. This time round the venue is reversed, with Gimnasia hosting instead.

With just a single meeting recorded, there isn't a broader head-to-head pattern to lean on here.

Mixed table snapshots

The standings entries we have show two separate readings for both clubs. In one, Gimnasia sit 11th after 16 games with 19 points, while Newell's are 14th with 15 points from the same number of matches. In another, after 10 games, Gimnasia are up in 4th with 17 points and Newell's are 8th with 16.

Without knowing which table best reflects where things stand closer to kickoff, it's hard to say exactly how these two rank against each other right now.

Whatever the exact placing, neither side looks dominant or adrift in these figures.

Gimnasia's key men

The player data available here is all about Gimnasia's own squad rather than Newell's. Alexis Módica leads their scoring with 12 goals in 22 matches, and Facundo Lencioni has set up seven goals in 25 appearances, so those two look central to how Gimnasia create and finish chances.

Best assist providers:

F. Lencioni - 7

Defender Facundo Saavedra has already picked up two red cards and two yellows in just 13 matches, which is worth keeping an eye on given the disciplinary risk that suggests.

If Módica and Lencioni are involved as usual, Gimnasia's attacking outlets should look familiar.

Goals at both ends look likely

Both sides have conceded fairly freely this season, Gimnasia 22 goals against and Newell's 23, while also scoring solidly themselves. That points towards a match where both teams could find the net rather than a tight, low-scoring affair.

Newell's habit of drawing games, eight of their last 20, also suggests they're capable of staying competitive without necessarily winning.
