In the previous four games, Rosario Central have gathered a victory and three draws. Most recently, they drew 0-0 away at Atltico Tucumn and dominated the ball (66%), but managed only one shot on target which shows their recent woes in front of goal. Nonetheless, they are very sturdy in defence and particularly at home, where they have given away 0.55 goals per game. They take 11.91 shots per game and the conversion rate is 13 per cent but the final product has been wanting of late.
Rosario Central: Lineup
Coach Ariel Holan should as well go with his typical 4-2-3-1 formation, with Veliz as the main striker flanked by Di Maria and Campaz. Mallo Blanco and Quintana will most probably be the defenders of the line.

Broun – Gimenez, Mallo Blanco, Quintana, Sandez – Ibarra, Navarro – Campaz, Malcorra, Di Maria – Veliz
