Rosario:
The home team plays this match for the Argentine Professional League (Round Table below), after the 3rd position won in the previous qualifying phase (1st Phase), in which they won a total of 7 points. This is a stronger team with the support of its fans, since in the last 30 games it has recorded 2 wins, 7 draws and 6 losses as a visitor; against 9 wins, 3 draws and 3 losses in his stadium. In their last 6 home games, Rosario Central registers 4 wins and 2 losses. Their defense has not been very solid, since they have suffered goals in 5 of the last 6 matches, but their offense has scored regularly, since they have scored goals in 5 of the last 6 matches for this competition.
Rosario Central should have better results playing at home and will do anything to start reacting. The rival has gone through a technical crisis and the team knows that it is important to take advantage of this opportunity. Thus, there will be no alternative but to attack and impose respect within their domains, but taking care of the rush so as not to disturb the team’s plans.
Patronato:
The visiting team reaches this phase of the Argentine Professional League (Round Table below) after having finished the previous qualifying phase (1st Phase) in 4th position, with 2 points won. This is a stronger team with the support of its fans, since in the last 30 games it has registered 1 victory, 5 draws and 9 losses as a visitor, with 10 goals scored and 24 suffered; against 4 victories, 6 draws and 5 defeats in their stadium, with 14 goals scored and 17 suffered. In their last 7 away matches the Board of Trustees has recorded 3 draws and 4 defeats.
For this competition, they have not won any of the last 6 matches. Their attack needs to improve as they haven’t scored goals in 5 of the last 6 matches for this competition. In 14 games, he never got the comeback in the 7 games in which he suffered the first goal.
The Board has a very weak season and their fans have not yet seen the team win. Away from home he has not managed to compete with dignity, losing all the matches he has made. The team knows they need to make a lot of changes, but they don’t have enough time. Thus, first he will try to stop, with a more defensive strategy, the numerous goals suffered.
