Under 2.5 goals simply means there there will be a maximum of 2 goals scored in total by Newells and Independiente during the traditional 90 minutes. It's a bet the stats below and the odds both favour on this occasion, and an outcome that we've seen these sides produce before. With no obvious winner in sight, our best bet prediction for this one is under 2.5.

Goal Statistics

Independiente's defensive record is to be admired, G. Quinteros Desábato's men having conceded 1 or less in 6 consecutive Primera División matches. An underwhelming PG rating of 1.0 for Newell's Old Boys makes sense in this context.
