Newell’s in trouble and hoping for favours: latest relegation table update | OneFootball

Lepra fell to Unión and could finish the round less than one match away from the danger zone. Find out what remains in the fixture for the Rojinegro.

Newell’s lost to Unión in matchday 14 of the 2025 Liga Profesional Clausura Tournament, a defeat that deepens Lepra’s crisis and prevents them from escaping the lower end of the Annual Table. The tough defeat at the Coloso Marcelo Bielsa increases concerns as the relegation spot draws closer, with only two rounds left before the end of the tournament. Find out the situation and what’s left on the calendar for the Rojinegro squad.

With only two games left to finish their participation in the regular phase, Lepra currently sits at 30 points in 25th place, four points ahead of San Martín de San Juan (the team that would be relegated if the table ended today).

This weekend will be key as the Santo faces Godoy Cruz, a Cuyo Classic where the loser will fall into the relegation zone. El Tomba is just one point behind (28th with 27 points), so if Romagnoli’s team wins, they would move into the danger zone and be just three points behind Newell’s. In the case of a draw, the Sanjuaninos would cut the gap to just one game from those at Parque de la Independencia. For the Rojinegro, the best-case scenario would be a win for the Bodeguero, which would maintain the current gap of more than one match over San Martín de San Juan.

While waiting for help from Mendoza, what remains on Newell’s calendar will be anything but easy. In the next round, they will visit Huracán at the Palacio Tomás A. Ducó (Saturday 8/11, at 19:15 hrs.), a Globo side that must win to make the Playoffs and is facing major doubts about the continuity of Frank Darío Kudelka.

The finale will be at the Coloso Marcelo Bielsa, no less than against Racing, who, after being eliminated from the Copa Libertadores, knows that they must win the championship to return to the top international tournament, for which they need to make the Playoffs—something they are currently out of. At the moment, the Academia is not among the top eight in the tight Zone A, so they know that nothing but winning every one of their upcoming matches will do to secure their ticket and qualify in the best possible way.
