Arsenal – Rosario Central

 

Sarandi Arsenal were the worst team in the 2021 season, accumulating only 33 points in 38 matches, which places them now in the 22nd spot of the relegation table. The team are on four league games without a win (two draws and two defeats). On a positive note, they lost only one of the last four at home, winning two and drawing one. The club hired Leonardo Madelon as new coach after Israel Damonte’s departure. They also added 16 new players.

Rosario Central wasted the chance of qualifying to the Copa Sudamericana in their last league game, when losing 4-1 to Huracan at home. That defeat also stopped their four-match unbeaten streak of two wins and two draws. On away turf, the team won only one of the last seven games, drawing three and losing three. Coach Cristian Gonzalez has six new faces at his disposal.

16 players left Arsenal and 19 returned, plus they have a new coach, so I can definitely imagine that it will take them some time to adapt. Rosario Central has the same base that had a decent season and I expect them to get the 3 points here.
