- Newell’s score an average of 0.83 goals per match at home in the Liga Profesional - Apertura 2026, but concede an average of 1.50 per game, which will be the key area they need to improve.
- San Lorenzo will be a difficult team to break down away as they have conceded just 0.50 goals per game in the Liga Profesional - Apertura 2026, but they have been even more meagre in front of goal, scoring just 0.50 per match in the competition.
