Betting on Rosario Central
This past weekend, Rosario Central only brought bad news from Buenos Aires. In addition to losing against Lanús (0-3), Jhonatan Candia got injured and will be off the field for five to six weeks due to a partial rupture of the internal collateral ligament of his right knee.
Thus, Miguel Ángel Russo, Central’s coach, will have to make some changes in the starting eleven with those who could replace the Uruguayan striker. His options are Octavio Bianchi or the Mexican Luca Martínez Dupuy.
Probable lineup (4-4-2): Gaspar Servio; Damián Martínez, Juan Cruz Komar, Facundo Mallo and Lucas Rodríguez; Gino Infantino, Kevin Ortíz, Francis MacAllister and Ignacio Malcorra; Octavio Bianchi and Alejo Veliz.
Betting on Godoy Cruz
Godoy Cruz has won two matches and lost two, including a 1-0 defeat at home to Estudiantes last weekend.
Despite having a higher ball possession percentage (51%), the team did not create significant goal-scoring opportunities against its opponents, recording only one serious chance to score. Also, the team committed 15 fouls, one of which resulted in the early dismissal of Juan Andrada, 6 minutes into the second half of the match.
Probable lineup (4-5-1): Diego Rodríguez; Lucas Arce, Pier Barrios, Federico Rasmussen, Thomas Galdames; Cristian Nuñez, Matías Ramírez, Gonzalo Abrego, Roberto Fernández and Tomás Conechny; and Salomón Rodríguez.
JefeBet Prediction
The history between Rosario Central vs Godoy Cruz shows that they have met 17 times, of which the Canalla has won six and the Tomba eight.
Every time Rosario Central plays at the Gigante de Arroyito, it explodes. We mention this because, at JefeBet, we believe the real star of this Saturday’s clash will be the colorful fans in blue and yellow rather than the soccer match itself. Meanwhile, on the actual match, it is expected that neither team will gain a significant advantage.
Prediction: Rosario Central and Godoy Cruz will draw 1-1.
