Battle of Contrasts: Rosario Central’s Hopeful Stride Against Central Cordoba’s Sturdy Resistance
Key Stats
– Central Cordoba’s resilience: They’ve gone six games unbeaten, establishing themselves as tough to beat.
– Duel for control: Rosario wins 51.5% of duels per game while Central Cordoba secures 47.8%, setting up an exciting midfield battle.
As the Argentine Primera Division is winding up, Rosario Central, positioned seventh, face a daunting task against Central Cordoba, to keep their dreams of a top-three finish alive. With just a handful of games remaining, Rosario’s ambition rests on the sword’s edge due to their recent performance. Their clash against Central Cordoba isn’t just a game; it’s their shot at redemption.
A Hard Fall for Rosario Central
The journey for Rosario has been riddled with obstacles. Their last match ended in a draw against Estudiantes, marking their third draw in the last six encounters. Out of the possible 12 points, they’ve managed to garner just three, with their offensive line only finding the net once. The missed penalty by Ignacio Malcorra in the goalless draw is still fresh in memory, a blunder that likely clipped their wings in the race for Copa Libertadores qualification.

The challenge for Rosario now lies in securing one of the six Copa Sudamericana spots. After a flying start to the season, amassing 21 points from their first 11 games, their progress slowed. With only 15 points from the next possible 36, the journey ahead seems even more challenging. The forthcoming matches against Central Cordoba and Racing Club are must-win battles for Rosario.
Rosario’s home performance has been their silver lining, bagging 28 points from 12 home games, a feat only surpassed by River Plate. They’ve managed to keep their fortress intact since last August, without conceding a single loss. However, their away record is quite the contrary and is a significant reason for their current standing in the league.
Central Cordoba’s Resurgence
On the other hand, Central Cordoba have been steadily improving their performance. Their recent victory over Newell’s Old Boys, a commendable 2-0, serves as a massive confidence booster ahead of the clash against Rosario. The win ended their sluggish streak, which saw them win just two games out of 12.
Central Cordoba have mastered the art of drawing, a skill that has kept them away from relegation. Their six-match unbeaten streak is a testament to their recent progress. This late-season form could prove critical for the team’s coefficient ranking heading into the next season.
Players to Watch
Alejo Veliz’s return from international duty has been a significant boost for Rosario, playing a critical role in their recent games. His performances since the Under-20 World Cup have been impressive, contributing significantly to Rosario’s point tally. However, Rosario are set to miss the services of Walter Montoya due to injury.
For Cordoba, Lucas Gamba has been the man leading the charge. His two goals and an assist in the last two games have been instrumental in earning four points for the team. Partnered by Brian Farioli upfront, Cordoba look robust, although they’ll miss the services of Nicolas Leguizamon and Marcelo Benitez.
The Crucial Encounter
The fixture between Rosario and Central Cordoba sets the stage for an exciting showdown. Rosario’s struggle to find a win recently may be exploited by a Central Cordoba side who’ve proved themselves tough to beat.
Predictions
Considering the past performances and current form of the teams, two predictions emerge.
Over 10.5 Corners
Based on the previous performances, both teams have been generating a substantial number of corners per game. Rosario averages 4.1 corners, while Central Cordoba generates 4.7. This suggests a high probability for a corner-rich game, also considering that Rosario would need to push for a win, hence the prediction of over 10.5 corners.
1-1 Draw
The fighting spirit and recent form of Central Cordoba suggest they are more than capable of holding Rosario to a draw. On the other hand, Rosario, desperate for points, will push hard. Considering both scenarios, a 1-1 draw seems a plausible outcome.
