Rosario Central vs Huracan
Rosario Central returned to winning ways in the best possible moment: last Saturday, they claimed a highly celebrated 1-0 home success over Newell’s Old Boys in the city derby thanks to a direct freekick netted by Ignacio Malcorra in the 86th minute. El Canalla put an end to their three-match winless streak of one draw and two defeats to make it eight points in the Copa Liga Profesional group A. As a result, the side returned to one of the Copa Sudamericana places in the aggregate table. Furthermore, Central made it 24 home matches without defeat, winning 12 and drawing 12 in that spell. There is no relevant injury news at Rosario Central for Friday. As a result, coach Miguel Russo will repeat the XI.
Huracan fans will have felt heartbroken after their 1-1 away stalemate at arch-rivals San Lorenzo last Saturday as they conceded the equaliser in the 98th minute. However, El Globo made it three league matches unbeaten (winning two and drawing one) to accumulate 13 points in the Copa Liga Profesional, which means they are third-placed in group A, trailing leaders Independiente by one. In addition, Diego Martinez’s men hold a one-point gap over the relegation spot in the aggregate table, shared by Gimnasia LP and Velez Sarsfield. Huracan secured a single point from nine on offer on the road in this competition. Winger Ignacio Pussetto saw a red card after leaving the pitch at San Lorenzo and is suspended for Friday.
Rosario Central is in great mood after winning the derby vs Newell´s, they have an impressive undefeated run at home and Huracan won’t have their best striker, Ignacio Pusseto, so I’ll go with the hosts here on this generous odds.
