Last match in both the Copa Sudamericana and the Rosario of Argentina, Newell's Old Boys will face Atletico Goianense at the Estadio Marcelo Bielsa.
She did her duty last game and won 3-1 over the indifferent Palestine at home and kept alive the dream of qualifying for the next phase. However, things are not rosy for the team from Rosario as to qualify for the next phase, they will have to beat Atletico Goianense today, while at the same time Libertad will lose to Palestine, in the other game of the group, while they will have to cover all four goals difference that Asuncion's team is superior to. In other words, points and monsters must be made in order for Newells to be in the next phase. Skoko and Maxi Rodrεςguez, two barometer players for the team's performance, remain out of the game.
Atletico Goianense, on the other hand, is coming off a goalless draw at home with both the indifferent Palestine and the first Libertad. Results that brought the team to minus one of the top with the last game being crucial. He needs a victory today to hope, but everything will be judged by what Libertad will do with the victory of the Paraguayan team, whatever it takes to win the first place.
A decisive game for both teams, but everything will be judged by the result of the other game of the group. Newell's is not convincing although it beat Palestine, in contrast to Atletico Goianense which is doing better away from home. Double in very good performance.
