On Mon Feb 28th, in week 4, Newell’s Old Boys and Talleres Córdoba will play a match in Ciudad de Córdoba in a meeting of these two Superliga teams. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy but hot day with daytime temperatures of 30 degrees, hopefuly the heat doesn’t affect the players too much. In their last match, Talleres Córdoba recorded a 0-0 scoreless draw against Patronato. Neither Patronato nor Talleres Córdoba could manage to put one past the goalie. They had 12 and 2 shots on net respectively, but no one could score, and the match ended in a 0 – 0 draw,. Talleres Córdoba looks to improve on their recent performance, having lost 1 of their last 10, while newell’s Old Boys sits at 10th place in the tables. In their last match they recorded a 0-2 loss against River Plate. Juan Quintero struck first for River Plate in the 72nd minute, then Robert Rojas added another in the 76th minute In the end, Newell’s Old Boys couldn’t muster any offence and River Plate ran away with the shutout win. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having lost 2 of their last 10.
This match will be the first time these two teams face eachother this season. Last season Newell’s Old Boys won the head to head battle with 1 win and 1 draw.
Newell’s Old Boys’s most prolific scorer has been Francisco Gonzalez. The Argentinian attacker has netted two goals over the last 5 matches. Jose David Romero and Diego García are the top scorers for Talleres Córdoba in the last five matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal. It’s hard to imagine having success with those stats.
