With a goal by Nicolás Fernández at 4′ of the first half, Defense beat the leper 1-0 in Rosario.
The meeting, valid for the tenth date of the Professional League, will be refereed by Facundo Tello and broadcast on Public TV.
Newell’s, which has 16 points, six behind the leader Atlético Tucumán, has a negative streak of three draws -Patronato, Platense and Racing- and one defeat.
His technical director, Javier Sanguinetti, is preparing some variants, such as the probable return of a left-back marker, a position in which he has Martín Luciano, Marco Campagnaro and Leonel Vangioni, who recovered from a tear.
Opposite will be Defense and Justice, which comes from beating Independiente 2-1 at home and is in 20th place with 10 points.
