Rosario Central, Recent FormRosario Central manager Miguel Ángel Russo will be looking for a better result in this game following a disappointing 0-0 draw in his team's last league outing against Vélez Sarsfield. They came away from that fixture with 53% of the possession and clocked up 7 attempts on goal with 2 on target. By comparison, Vélez Sarsfield managed 13 attempts on goal, with 2 on target.
They may consider themselves adept at breaking through their opponent's defences, having scored 10 goals in their last 6 outings, but they have had their own defensive frailties to worry about, having conceded 7 and seen valuable points lost. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, and they have recorded 7 clean sheets in their 16 games so far this season.
Their strong run of form at home now gives them an unbeaten streak of 14 games in a row.
Defensa y Justicia, Recent FormDefensa y Justicia had to settle for a share of the spoils in their last match, which ran out a 1-1 draw against Estudiantes de La Plata. In that game they recorded 32 % of the possession, with 7 attempts on goal, 2 on target. Their opponents found the target on 8 of their 23 shots on goal.
Manager Julio Vaccari will be pleased with his team's performances recently, having only conceded 1 in their last 6 games, while still managing to score a respectable 9 goals. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, and playing away from home, they're currenlty on a run of 3 clean sheets in a row.
