Their home split is also the best in this match-up: 5 wins from 8, with 11 scored and just 4 conceded at Estadio Jorge Luis Hirschi.

Newell's have been far less secure over the same sample. They are 3-6-7 overall and their away numbers are a concern, with 17 goals conceded in 8 road games. Even with back-to-back wins in their recent form line, the full-season profile still points against them here. For prediction and betting tips purposes, the prices underline that gap - 1.68 on Estudiantes is clear favoritism, while 6.00 on Newell's shows the size of the task.
