River Plate Preview
River had a good league season like almost all the previews in which Marcelo Gallardo was the head coach, but this final stretch is very particular. In recent days, the most glorious coach in the history of River Plate confirmed he is leaving the club at the end of the year. For this reason, the dream of winning the league, despite the circumstances, is more latent than ever.
Currently, River is in third place in the league with 44 points from 13 wins, 5 draws and 7 losses. They are only four points behind Boca and have not lost in their last four matchdays.
In their last match against Platense, River won by a score of 2-1 with goals from Nicolás de La Cruz and Matías Suárez. Although they have confirmed their place in the next Copa Libertadores, in this River Plate vs Rosario Central, “el más grande” will give everything on the field to win the local tournament.
Possible lineup (4-1-2-1-2): Franco Armani; Andrés Herrera, Emanuel Mammana, Javier Pinola, Milton Casco; Enzo Pérez; Nicolás De La Cruz; Juan Fernando Quintero, Agustín Palavecino; Esequiel Barco and Miguel Borja.
Rosario Central Preview
Rosario Central is going through a difficult moment in the local tournament. The team coached by Carlos Tevez comes into this River Plate vs Rosario Central match with a long streak of eight consecutive matches without a win. In their last match against Atlético Tucumán, “los Canallas” drew 1-1 with a goal scored by Facundo Buonanotte in the 24th minute. Although locals registered more possession and shots on goal, luck was on the side of the rosarinos.
Rosario currently occupies the 23rd place in the Argentine First Division, a position it reached with 6 wins, 10 draws and 9 defeats during the season. The current priority for Central is to move away from the bottom of the annual table.
Possible lineup (4-3-3): Gaspar Servio; Damián Martínez, Javier Báez, Facundo Almada, Fernando Rodríguez, Mateo Tanlongo, Francis Mac Allister, Kevin Ortiz, Facundo Buonanotte, Franco Frías, Alejo Veliz.
JefeBet’s prediction
River Plate vs Rosario Central will surely be a match full of emotions. The locals have the responsibility of winning in what could be Gallardo’s last team in the Monumental Stadium, while the visitors want to surprise and give their fans a reason to celebrate before the end of the season.
In this case, we believe that the winner of the match will be River Plate. Their squad, style of play and results throughout the championship make them the most likely to win the three points.
Prediction: River Plate wins 2-0.
