Newells Old Boys vs Union Santa Fe Prediction: Stats, Tips & Betting Preview

If you are looking for the most insightful Newells Old Boys vs Union Santa Fe prediction, you have come to the right place. On November 1, 2025, at exactly 00:15 GMT, fans will turn their eyes to Estadio Marcelo Bielsa in Rosario, where these two sides meet in the Liga Profesional, Clausura. The storylines are rich, the stats are intriguing, and the betting tips promise a night of suspense. Let’s break down everything you need to know before placing your bets.

Team News, Tactics, and Recent Form

Both Newell’s Old Boys and Union Santa Fe are no strangers to drama, and this fixture arrives with both squads in interesting phases.

  • Newells Old Boys have recently shaken things up in the dugout. Cristian Fabbiani is out, and Lucas Bernardi steps in as interim head coach, bringing along a new staff. The squad, valued at €18.70 million, boasts experienced names like Éver Banega in midfield and Darío Benedetto up front. But, the recent form has been less than inspiring: a 3-1 loss to Argentinos Juniors, a heavy 5-0 defeat to Boca Juniors, and a string of draws and losses that see them languishing in 14th place.
  • Union Santa Fe, managed by Leonardo Madelón, have been the surprise package of the Clausura. Sitting 3rd in the table with a squad valued at €25.50 million, they mix youth and experience. Jerónimo Dómina and Franco Fragapane offer attacking threat, while the defense is marshaled by Claudio Corvalán. Their recent results are a mixed bag: a 3-1 loss to Central Cordoba, a 0-2 defeat to Aldosivi, but a gritty 1-1 draw away to Boca Juniors and a 1-3 win at Gimnasia La Plata show their resilience on the road.

Tactically, expect Newells to try to control possession (projected 47%) and look for moments of magic from Banega, while Union Santa Fe’s slightly higher share of the ball (53%) and a more direct approach could tilt the balance. The last head to head between these sides ended 1-1 in June 2023, so history suggests a tight affair.

Betting Tips, Odds, and AI Predictions

Now, let’s dive into the Newells Old Boys vs Union Santa Fe prediction from a betting perspective. The odds are tight as a drum:

  • Home win: 2.69
  • Draw: 2.96
  • Away win: 2.8

The market sees little between these teams, but our data-driven betting tips lean in favor of the visitors. NerdyTips’ best advice? Back Union Santa Fe to win or draw (X2), with a high trust level of 8.5/10 and odds of 1.4. If you’re feeling brave, the 1x2 outright prediction is a Union win (2), with a trust of 8.0 and odds of 2.6.

For fans of low-scoring encounters, our AI expects under 2.5 goals (trust score 2.0, odds 1.5). The predicted final score? 0-2 in favor of Union Santa Fe, with a 0-1 lead at half-time. Expect a tactical battle, with both sides combining for 19 shots (10 for Union, 9 for Newells) but only 7 on target. Even the corners (4 each) and cards (3 yellows for Newells, 1 for Union) tell the story of a game where margins will be thin.

Key Stats and Head to Head Insights

  • Squad value edge: Union Santa Fe (€25.50m) over Newells Old Boys (€18.70m)
  • Recent H2H: Last match ended 1-1 (2023-06-12)
  • Shots on goal: Union Santa Fe (4) vs Newells Old Boys (3) predicted
  • Expected cards: Newells Old Boys (3), Union Santa Fe (1)

Both teams have shown they can defy the odds, like Newells’ recent away draw at Defensa Y Justicia (odds 5.1) and Union’s battling point at Boca Juniors (odds 5.0). But with Union’s superior league standing and squad value, plus their recent resilience, the smart money is on them to avoid defeat.

Final Verdict: Newells Old Boys vs Union Santa Fe Prediction

To sum up, all signs point to Union Santa Fe having the upper hand in this encounter—a team in form, with a higher squad value and a tactical plan that travels well. The best betting tip from our analysts and AI models: back X2 (Union win or draw) at odds of 1.4. For those who like a bit of risk, a straight Union win at 2.6 offers value. And don’t expect fireworks—under 2.5 goals is the safe play.
