Racing Club vs Rosario Central
Racing Club registered a scoreless away stalemate against Estudiantes in a hard-fought match last Saturday. As a result, the team extended their unbeaten streak to eight games in league action (winning three and drawing five in that time). However, that positive run is not yet enough to climb into one of the continental places in the aggregate table as La Academia are now on 32 points, occupying 13th spot in the Liga Profesional table. On a positive note, Fernando Gago’s men have been unbeaten in their last four domestic matches at home, winning two and drawing two since losing to Talleres 4-2 in early May. Leonardo Sigali and Facundo Mura have both reached the yellow-card limit at Estudiantes and are suspended for Saturday. Gabriel Rojas and Maximiliano Romero remain sidelined and Anibal Moreno is a doubt after succumbing to a muscle problem shortly before the last match.
Rosario Central returned to winning ways last Tuesday, when they showed an enjoyable version to beat CA Central Cordoba 2-0 at home thanks to goals from Fabricio Oviedo and Ignacio Malcorra. El Canalla put an end to their four-game winless streak of three stalemates and one defeat in league action to accumulate 39 points in the Liga Profesional table, moving up to seventh spot. On a sorry note, Central have been winless in their last seven away matches, drawing four and losing three since beating Huracan 2-0 in March.
Even if Rosario Central has struggled playing away lately, they will face this irregular Racing that will have too many missings due to injuries and suspensions, so I think the visitors should be able to take something from this game.
