Newell’s Old Boys will try to resume their winning ways when they host Arsenal this Saturday, seriously threatened by relegation, in one of the four games that will continue the 16th round of the Professional Football League (LPF). The match will be played starting at 8:30 p.m. at the Coloso Marcelo Bielsa, will be refereed by Pablo Echavarría and broadcast on Public Television.
Newell’s has 20 points and is dragging an adverse series of four games without winning, with two losses and two draws, while Arsenal added 11 points, marching from last and with a serious risk of relegation at the end of the year due to its low average (it is last in that board).
After the defeat that his team suffered on the last date against Gimnasia y Esgrima La Plata, Carlos Ruiz disassociated himself, so this Saturday the cast of Sarandí will be directed on an interim basis by Darío Espínola.
The record between the two is 31 games and favors Newell’s with 10 wins against 8 for Arsenal, plus 13 draws.
