Belgrano v Newell’s: Copa Argentina rivals close the round in Córdoba | OneFootball

After the 3-1 in San Luis where the Pirate eliminated the Lepra, both teams face each other again in search of getting closer to the playoff zone.

Belgrano and Newell’s will meet this Monday from 21.00 at the Julio César Villagra stadium, for the ninth round of the 2025 Clausura Tournament. The match will be officiated by Daniel Edgardo Zamora, with VAR managed by Emanuel Ejarque, and will be broadcast by TNT Sports Premium.

The Pirate arrives with the emotional boost of having eliminated the Lepra in the Argentine Cup, after a historic comeback in the quarterfinals with two goals from Franco Jara and one from Lisandro López. That victory allowed the Cordoba team to reach the top four of the tournament for the second time in its history, and now they will try to transfer that energy to the Clausura, where they have gone four matches without a win and have fallen out of the playoff zone. On the horizon is also the cup semifinal against Argentinos Juniors, with venue and date to be confirmed.

On the other side, the team of Cristian Fabbiani is going through an irregular present. Newell’s has only won two of its last nine matches and, although they managed to win 2-0 over Atlético Tucumán at the Coloso Marcelo Bielsa, they couldn't maintain the momentum and were eliminated in the Argentine Cup by the Cordobeses. With life only in the local tournament, the Lepra will seek revenge in Alberdi and a victory that brings them closer to qualifying for the next round.
