Newell’s host Estudiantes, chasing their first win of the campaign | OneFootball

La Lepra is experiencing turbulent times after the departure of Orsi-Gómez, while Pincha introduces a new coach following the exit of Domínguez.

Newell’s Old Boys and Estudiantes de La Plata will face each other this Wednesday starting at 7:30 p.m. at the Estadio Marcelo Bielsa, for the seventh round of the 2026 Torneo Apertura. The match will mark the beginning of a new era for both clubs, each undergoing major changes on the bench.

The atmosphere in Rosario is tense. The record-fast departure of the Orsi-Gómez duo highlights a start to the year that deepens a period of inconsistency at Parque Independencia. The interim appointment of Lucas Bernardi comes at a delicate time, with fans expressing their anger after the heavy defeat against Banfield and with the Rosario derby just around the corner. The management has already chosen Frank Darío Kudelka as head coach to continue the project.

In La Plata, on the other hand, the blow was unexpected. The surprising departure of Eduardo Domínguez to Atlético Mineiro shook the reigning champions of Argentine football. His replacement is Alexander Medina, who takes on the challenge of maintaining the winning streak that “Barba” established with titles and a leading role. Pincha comes from an emotional victory against Sarmiento de Junín and seeks to keep the positive momentum going.
