Rosario Central vs Argentinos Jrs

Rosario Central showed a poor version last Tuesday and recorded a disappointing scoreless away stalemate at newcomers Instituto. However, the team also made it four league matches unbeaten in the Copa Liga Profesional, winning two and drawing two in that time. Miguel Russo’s men are on 13 points in ten rounds so far, an irregular campaign that is however enough to stay occupying one of the Copa Sudamericana places in the aggregate table. Central have been without defeat in their last 26 home matches, winning 13 and drawing 13 since losing to Banfield 1-0 in August 2022.

Argentinos Juniors are starting to live a crisis. Last Tuesday, the team couldn’t hold onto their lead and ended up losing 2-1 at home to relegation candidates Huracan. As a result, El Bicho made it five league matches without a win (drawing two and losing three). Accumulating 12 points in the Copa Liga Profesional, they remain into the Copa Sudamericana spots in the aggregate table, but only leading Racing Club (in 11th) by goal difference. Argentinos collected a single point from the last nine available on the road.

Rosario Central are still holding on to their impressive undefeated run at home and I can’t see them as underdogs against this irregular Argentinos Jrs that comes from losing against a relegation candidate like Huracan and that has been very poor playing away.
