Betting on Rosario Central
Rosario Central is having a more than acceptable campaign in Argentine soccer and is currently in 6th place with 27 points, recording seven wins, six draws, and three losses.
In its last five matches, the team has attained one win, reached three draws, and suffered one defeat, showing some inconsistency. Now, Rosario Central arrives to this match after drawing against Vélez.
Although the team from Rosario has not stood out for having a great defense, conceding 19 goals so far this season, it has already kept two clean sheets in a row. That is why this is a good opportunity to bet that its opponent will score the Under (0.5) goals, a variable that has odds of (+140) on BetMGM. A great chance to double your money since betting $100 gets you $240. Go for it!
Possible lineup (3-4-2-1): Jorge Broun; Juan Komar, Facundo Mallo, Carlos Quintana; Ismael Cortéz, Agustín Toledo, Francis Mac Allister, Kevin Ortiz; Ignacio Malcorra, Jaminton Campaz; Jhonatan Candia.
Betting on Defensa y Justicia
Defensa y Justicia’s season has been slightly better than its opponent’s, recording eight wins, five draws, and three losses. In fact, these teams are only separated by three points in the standings, so a good result is vital if Defensa wants to maintain its fourth place or even climb up higher in the standings.
Currently, the team’s confidence is sky-high due to its run of eight undefeated matches in both the Argentine First Division and the Copa Sudamericana. However, the team arrives at this match after a goalless draw against San Lorenzo and a recent 1-1 draw with Estudiantes, a challenge in which it played more than 60 minutes with one less player due to Kevin Gutierrez’s first-half expulsion.
For this new encounter, Julio Vaccari’s men will not only have to face a tough opponent, but also manage the pressure of traveling to Brazil to visit América-MG in a crucial Copa Sudamericana match just four days later..
Possible lineup (4-3-3): Ezequiel Unsain; Nazareno Colombo, Julián Malatani, Tomás Cardona, Alexis Soto; Gabriel Alanís, Julián López, Santiago Solari; David Barbona, Gastón Togni, Nicolás Fernández.
