Rosario Central registered a 1-1 away draw at Central Cordoba last Sunday, which represented an important point for Diego Cocca’s men. Thanks to that result, they are now on 23 points and stay nine points over the relegation zone. Furthermore, El Canalla extended their unbeaten run to four Superliga matches (earning ten points in that span). Central won their last two home matches over Godoy Cruz and Aldosivi. Rosario Central coach Diego Cocca welcomes back Fabian Rinaudo, who has served his one-week suspension.
Boca Juniors’ fans will have felt sorry after the team’s 1-1 home draw with Argentinos Juniors as they had taken the first lead and couldn’t take all three points. That means both teams remain sharing the top of the league table on 29 points. Gustavo Alfaro’s men are unbeaten in their last four league matches, winning two and drawing two. They also hold the second-best away record in the league following four victories, two draws and a single defeat. Boca Juniors playmaker Carlos Tevez misses one more game due to his muscle issues.
Rosario Central lost only twice this season and only one at home in a tight 0-1 vs Velez, so even if Boca is a solid team I think the hosts should take something from this game.
