Match between Newell's Old Boys and Talleres Córdoba - Preview

The clash between Newell's Old Boys and Talleres Córdoba opens the Torneo Clausura 2026 with two teams at very different crossroads - one desperate to rebuild, the other seeking to rediscover the form that saw them thrive in the first half of the Argentine season.

Newell's Old Boys enter the Clausura carrying the weight of a difficult Apertura campaign. With only 14 points from 15 group matches - 3 wins, 5 draws, and 7 defeats - they finished 14th of 15 teams in Zone A and were eliminated before the knockout rounds. Yet the final stretch of the Apertura offered encouragement: Newell's went unbeaten in their last 5 Liga Profesional matches, including a 3-2 away victory at Unión Santa Fe and a 3-1 win on the road at Central Córdoba de Santiago. The Clausura offers a clean slate.

Talleres, by contrast, had a far more productive Apertura group stage - 7 wins, 4 draws, and 4 defeats yielded 25 points and a 4th-place finish in Zone A, enough to advance to the Round of 16. However, recent form has been patchy: back-to-back defeats - 0-1 to Belgrano at home in the Liga Profesional and 0-3 to Atlético Tucumán in the Copa Argentina - cast a shadow over what had been a strong campaign. Talleres need to rediscover their early-Apertura sharpness quickly.

Head-to-Head: Newell's Old Boys vs Talleres Córdoba

The rivalry between Newell's and Talleres is evenly matched across recent history - according to FootyStats, across the last 12 meetings between the clubs, each side has won 4 times with 4 draws, making it one of Argentine football's more balanced provincial rivalries. The most recent meeting ended 2-1 to Talleres at home in January 2026, but Newell's turned the tables in December 2024 with a 3-1 win in Córdoba.

Here are the last five head-to-head meetings between the two sides:

• 24 January 2026 - Liga Profesional Argentina - Talleres Córdoba 2:1 Newell's Old Boys

• 14 June 2022 - Liga Profesional Argentina - Talleres Córdoba 0:1 Newell's Old Boys

Newell's Old Boys - Recent Form

Newell's Old Boys closed out the Apertura phase on a positive note, going unbeaten in their final 5 Liga Profesional matches with 2 wins and 3 draws - a run that could signal a turning point heading into the Clausura.

The highlight was a 3-1 away win at Central Córdoba de Santiago in early April, followed by a goalless draw at home to San Lorenzo and a 3-2 victory on the road at Unión Santa Fe. Home draws against Instituto Córdoba (1-1) and Vélez Sarsfield (1-1) completed the five-match unbeaten stretch. Across those 5 games, Newell's scored 8 goals and conceded 5.

The numbers reveal a team more reliable away from home than in front of their own supporters. If they can replicate that road sharpness in the Clausura, Newell's could prove far more competitive than their Apertura standing suggested.

Talleres Córdoba - Recent Form

Talleres Córdoba approach the Clausura opener with question marks surrounding their form, having won just 1 of their last 5 matches across all competitions - a significant dip from the level they showed during the best of the Apertura.

The picture brightened briefly with a 2-0 home victory over Deportivo Riestra in late April, but it quickly clouded again. A 0-0 draw away at Estudiantes de La Plata and a 1-1 at Unión Santa Fe offered little momentum, before consecutive home defeats - 0-1 to Belgrano in the Liga Profesional and 0-3 to Atlético Tucumán in the Copa Argentina - raised real concerns about defensive solidity and attacking output.

In those 5 matches, Talleres managed only 3 goals while conceding 5. Head coach Carlos Tevez will need to address those numbers urgently as the Clausura campaign gets underway.
