With two wins and two losses to start the new Primera Division season, Newell's are in the top half of the standings and relatively close to the top since they are just four points behind league leaders Racing Club. So, a win over Instituto who are one point ahead would put them even closer to the top of the standings.
When it comes to team news, Newell's Old Boys will have to manage without Gustavo Velazquez, who is on international duty with Paraguay. On the bright side, the team is free of any injuries at this time.
