Newell's aims to control games through high pressing and verticality in a 4-3-3. This formation focuses on winning the ball high up the pitch to catch the opposition out of position. The team looks to use short passing to move the ball through the thirds before releasing the forwards.

S. Peratta starts in goal to oversee the defensive line. The back four operates as a zonal line with L. Vangioni and N. Roselli acting as full backs. L. Vangioni is expected to push up to provide width while N. Roselli maintains the defensive line. In the middle, J. Insaurralde and R. Schiavi function as the central defenders, with J. Insaurralde acting as a ball playing defender to start attacks. They work together to squeeze the space and keep the team compact.

The midfield works as a three man midfield with a carrier and a defensive anchor. D. Mateo sits as a single pivot to shield the defence and intercept passes. Moving forward, M. Fórmica and L. Bernardi operate as the two central midfielders. M. Fórmica drives forward with the ball to link the lines, while L. Bernardi looks to win the second ball and recycle possession. This group works to compress the midfield and prevent the opponent from playing through the center.

Up front, the team utilizes three attackers across the front to stretch the defence. J. Boghossian acts as the lone striker, working to hold up the ball and pin the last defender. On the flanks, M. Estigarribia and J. Achucarro operate as wide wingers. M. Estigarribia tends to cut inside to create more central presence, while J. Achucarro stays wide to provide options for a cross. They press from the front to force a long ball from the opposition.

Newell's creates several tactical advantages through this lineup. The team can achieve numerical superiority in midfield when the full backs push up, and they possess a high pressing intensity that triggers a press in coordinated waves. This allows them to win it back high up the pitch. The ability to transition quickly makes them dangerous when they hit in behind on the transition.

This 4-3-3 formation relies on intense pressing and quick vertical play to unsettle the opponent. It is best suited for games against teams that try to play out from the back and leave space behind their defensive line.
