Instituto vs Rosario Central

Instituto showed a decent version in their visit to defending champions Estudiantes last Sunday, but they found trouble to stop their offensive power and ended up losing 3-2. That result represented their third defeat across the last five league rounds (along with one victory and one draw). Therefore, Diego Dabove’s men remain on 28 points in the Liga Profesional and have been displaced from the Copa Sudamericana zone in the aggregate table. On a positive note, Instituto lost only one of their last eight at home, winning five and drawing two. All regulars are available for Saturday.

Rosario Central continue finding trouble to leave behind their irregularity. Last time out, they had to settle for a disappointing 1-1 home stalemate against Banfield in an intense game. Having claimed a single victory across their last six league games (along with two draws and three losses), El Canalla accumulated 23 points in 18 rounds in the Liga Profesional, which places them in 20th spot of the aggregate rankings. In fact, Central also are on four defeats in a row as the visiting side in domestic action. Coach Matias Lequi can pick from all his regulars on Saturday.

Instituto has conceded at least once in 7 of their last 8 games and score in 6 of their last 7, similar numbers for Rosario Central who are coming from conceding 8 goals in the last 6 matches, so I’ll go here for the OVER between these two teams who don’t have a lot to play for for the rest of the tournament.

BET: OVER 2 @ 1.99
