Group B runners-up Newell's Old Boys lock horns with Estudiantes in an intriguing clash in the Copa de La Liga Profesional Argentina at the Estadio Jorge Luis Hirschi on Monday evening.
The hosts have gotten off to a relatively good start to the new campaign and have 11 points from opening five games. Estudiantes have yet to suffer a defeat in the first phase and could overtake Monday's opponents into second with all three points here.
The visitors, meanwhile, saw their four-game winning streak come to an abrupt end last time out, as they suffered a 4-0 home loss to Racing Club. They failed to score for the first time this year in that loss and after playing out a 1-1 friendly draw against Lionel Messi Inter Miami, the Lepers will look to return to winning ways in this match.
