by Newellone of the five undefeated Professional football championship (LPF), will take on a risky visit this Saturday Students of La Plata at the UN Jorge Luis Hirschi stadium.
The match will be played from 6pm with arbitration by Jorge Baliño and a joint broadcast by ESPN Premium and Public TV.
Newell’s took the lead of the LPF after scoring three wins (against Banfield, Talleres de Córdoba and Argentinos Juniors) and a draw (against San Lorenzo) in the first four days.
However, he was provisionally ousted from first place last night by Gimnasia y Esgrima La Plata (11) win against Rosario Central in Carlos Tevez’s debut as manager.
The students, fifth with 7 units, have not lost at home since March 13 and aspire to victory to remain in the fight for the command.
His coach, Ricardo Zielinski, will not reserve players although next week, Thursday, he will visit Fortaleza from Brazil in the first leg of the first knockout round of Copa Libertadores. The only change from the last defeat to Independiente (1-2) will be the return of Leandro Díaz from Tucuman for Brian Orosco in attack.
Newell’s, meanwhile, has foreseen two variants in defense with respect to the victory against Argentinos, last Monday at Coloso Marcelo Bielsa in Rosario.
Cristian Lema will return to replace Facundo Mansilla and Tomás Yacob for the Uruguayan Armando Méndez, infected with the coronavirus.
The record between the two in the First Division reflects a curious and absolute parity with 53 wins per side and 42 draws in 148 games.
