Prediction

The supporter reaction to the clasico defeat to Rosario Central has been the main talking point for a continually underperforming Newell's Old Boys side.
Juan Ignacio Ramirez remains the key cog for Newell's with his eight goals so far challenging at the top of the goalscoring charts.
Racing Club's Copa Sudamericana performance will have been a major positive, however that will take precedence over this one which hands Newell's an advantage.
In spite of that, Racing have balanced continental and domestic peformances well and will hope they can continue to do so here.
