Rosario Central vs Estudiantes
Rosario Central are now into the fight for a ticket to the playoffs. Last time out, they took a key 1-0 away success at Aldosivi thanks to a strike from Diego Zabala in the 86th minute to make it two consecutive victories in league action. As a result, Cristian Gonzalez’s men earned 15 points in group A, trailing fourth-placed San Lorenzo by goal difference. El Canalla are on eight domestic matches without defeat at their own stadium, having won five and drawn three. The team lost 1-0 at Paraguay’s 12 de Octubre in a Copa Sudamericana group game on Tuesday 20.
Estudiantes fans will have felt highly disappointed after the team’s scoreless home draw in the city derby against Gimnasia LP last Sunday. Ricardo Zielinski’s men won only one of their last six league matches, drawing three and losing two, but they still have enough to remain sitting in third spot in group A table on 16 points. Furthermore, El Pincha remain unbeaten on away turf this term as they recorded two victories and two draws so far.
Can’t trust this terrible Rosario Central that lost midweek in Copa Sudamericana and will have another game in 72 hours. Estudiantes has been solid away and should be able to get the win they need to get closer to secure a playoff place.
