Rosario Central vs Banfield
Rosario Central played a worthy game last Wednesday and secured a valuable scoreless away draw at defending champions Boca Juniors. It’s good news in the context of an irregular campaign: El Canalla claimed a single victory across their last four league matches, along with one draw and two defeats in that span. As a result, the team are now on 18 points after 14 games in this competition. On a positive note, Carlos Tevez’s men won three of their last four matches at Estadio Gigante de Arroyito, only losing to CA Central Cordoba in the process.
Banfield’s winless streak has been extended to eight league games (four draws and four losses) last Thursday, when the team had nothing to do against Racing Club’s offensive power and ended up losing 2-0 at home. El Taladro remain on 15 points in 14 games in the Liga Profesional and should improve soon to escape potential relegation threats: they are 11 points above the first drop spot in the respective table at the moment. On away turf, Banfield grabbed a single point from the last nine available.
Even though Rosario Central is still not a reliable team, Banfield has just been terrible lately, there are some moments where it feels like they want their coach to leave, so at this odds I have to take the hosts.
