Newell's Old Boys vs Corinthians Prediction and Betting Tips | August 8, 2023 

Newell's Old Boys welcome Corinthians to the Estadio Marcelo Bielsa for the second leg of their Copa Sudamericana Round of 16 tie on Tuesday (August 8).

The visitors hold a narrow advantage in the tie following a 2-1 comeback win in the first leg in Brazil last week. Marcos Portillo put the Argentine side ahead in first half injury time, but second-half goals from Yuri Alberto and Wesley saw Todo Poderoso claim the win.

Corinthians followed up their continental win with a 2-2 draw at Internacional in the Brazilian Serie A. They twice took the lead through Renato Augusto and Fabio Santos, but Internacional fought back on each occasion. Luiz Adriano scored a last-gasp equaliser in the ninth minute of injury time to share the spoils.

Newell's booked their spot at this stage as Group E winners. Corinthians, meanwhile, dropped down from the Copa Libertadores and claimed a 3-1 aggregate win over Universitario de Deportes in the playoff.

The winner of this tie face either Estudiantes or Goias in the quarterfinal.
