Match highlights
PremiumMatch analysis
Banfield have scored just 0.6 goals a game on the road this season, a rate that supports Superior's Under 3.5 goals pick for Newells Old Boys vs Banfield on 23 August. That line is priced at 1.2, and the model's read on it sits at 92 percent, well clear of the roughly 83 percent the price itself needs to break even. Newells Old Boys add only 1.2 goals a game of their own, and four of their last five matches have finished with two goals or fewer in total.
Banfield have hit the net three times across five road trips
Superior's projection starts from each side's measured scoring rate, and neither number here argues for goals: Newells' 6.2 defence rating has held up at home, and Banfield have managed a single goal in three of their last five outings away from their own ground. Multiply two rates this low together and the model's combined projection lands comfortably under this line before either side's defensive record is even factored in.
One draw with Boca Juniors breaks the pattern
Newells' own form is not spotless: a 2-2 draw with Boca Juniors two weeks ago produced four goals on its own, enough to beat this Under 3.5 line outright if that kind of open, end-to-end game happens again. It is the one match in ten combined recent outings where either side let a game get stretched, and it is the honest way this pick fails.
