Newell's have been steadier but less prolific, with 7 wins, 8 draws and 5 losses in their last 20. That's a lot of draws, and their recent results have followed that pattern, with three stalemates in their last four outings before this fixture.

Lanus arrive with more recent momentum, while Newell's look more likely to draw than lose.

Comparative Team Statistics: Newells Old Boys vs Lanus

Head-to-head record

These two have met 16 times in the recorded history here, stretching back to 2015, and it's been a fairly even rivalry over the years with Newell's winning plenty of those meetings. The most recent clash, though, was anything but even.

In March this year Lanus won 5-0 away at Newell's in the league. That's a heavy scoreline and the freshest data point we have, even if the longer H2H picture shows a much closer contest historically.

The most recent meeting was one-sided, but the wider history doesn't strongly favour either side.

Where they sit in the table

In the fuller table on record, with 16 games played, Lanus sit 6th on 24 points while Newell's are down in 14th on 15. That's a decent gap. Earlier in the season, when both sides had played only 10 matches, they were much closer together, level on 16 points apiece.

So the two teams started from similar positions but Lanus appear to have pulled further clear as more games were played, at least based on what's recorded here.

Lanus have the better recent league position of the two.

Players to watch

On the Lanus side, D. Aquino has been their main source of goals with 6 in 20 matches, while E. Salvio leads the way on assists with 6 in 26 appearances. R. Carrera has picked up 9 yellow cards in 22 games, which is worth keeping an eye on given how quickly bookings can add up.

There's no equivalent player data available for Newell's here, so we can't compare goal threats directly, but Lanus's attacking numbers look reasonably concentrated in a couple of key men.
