Central Cordoba – Rosario Central

CA Central Cordoba continue to show their best skills. Last time out, the team left very good impressions to secure a massive 3-2 away success at Newell’s Old Boys. As a result, El Ferroviario lost only one of their last 14 league matches, winning seven and drawing six in that spell to accumulate 28 points in the Liga Profesional and opening a nine-point gap over the bottom spot in the aggregate table. In fact, Central won four and drew two of the last seven at home, along with a single defeat. Coach Omar De Felippe can pick from all his usual starters on Monday.

Rosario Central showed improvements last Monday, when the team ended up drawing 1-1 away at defending champions Estudiantes with coach Ariel Holan making his debut at the club. However, the new man in charge still has a lot of work to do as his team made it seven league games without a win (four stalemates and three losses) to accumulate 26 points in 23 Liga Profesional rounds, an irregular campaign that leaves them out of any relevant aims for the rest of the season. In fact, Central are on seven domestic matches without a win as the visiting side, drawing three and losing four. Defensive midfielder Franco Ibarra reached the yellow-card limit and is suspended while Jaminton Campaz won’t feature due to a muscle injury. Facundo Mallo and Carlos Quintana remain out.

I have to trust Central Cordoba again to continue with their great run of good games and results against a Rosario Central that will have very important missings like their two central defenders Mallo and Quintana, and their best striker, Campaz.
