Newell's Old Boys - Independent 
The match at Marcelo Bielsa between Newell's Old Boys and Independiente opens the program in the Copa de la Liga profesional.
Newell's Old Boys remained unbeaten in the league for the third consecutive game. After the defeats by Veles Sarsfield and Boca Juniors, it was a draw in Cordoma against Tagieres with a score of 2-2. The coach of the team Koukelka is looking for the first victory of his team in the new institution. In today's match, the problems are again enough for the experienced coach. Outside is the punished Hiani, as well as the injured Bitolo, Escobar and Handiletti. On the positive side is the return of the good striker Crystal. The next match he faces Defensa Justitha away from home.
On the other hand, Independiente showed character after the defeat of the premiere by Lanus with 0-1, they won with the same score Patronato and Gymnasia La Plata. Julio Falcioni's team takes its games to half - zero. Extreme Velasco tested positive for Covid -19 and is out. I do not expect 'Rocha' to change the way it plays, which will go conservatively again. Following is a cup game with Villa Mitre midweek.
Newell's is looking for the first victory in the Copa Liga, although it will have some absences against Independiente, it will get my support in the ace.
