Independiente host Newell's Old Boys on Tuesday in Argentine's Premier Division as the latter looks to end their shambolic run of draws while the former hope to put a full stop to their habit of dropping points from winning positions.
The home side have dropped multiple points from the winning position this season and the share of spoils against Gimnasia is a perfect example of that. Hovering around the bottom of the league, Independiente needs to buckle up and learn to close games when they are in a comfortable position to push themselves up the table.
Newell's last win came at home against Godoy Cruz in May as they went on to win the away side 2-0 and since then the Argentine side has dropped points on several occasions. Despite them losing just a single game in that period, the string of draws have severely hampered their chances of climbing up the table.
Gabriel Heinze's side have been brilliant when they have opened the scoring in a match-winning 7 games without a reply as they'll look to return to winning ways playing away from their own backyard.
