Prediction published on 22/07/2023, 13:19  by Daniel Ngulu in Football Predictions

After a losing outing in Copa Argentina, River Plate will seek to bounce back when they travel to Rosario Central. Ahead of this league outing, River Plate are top of the table, 17 points ahead of sixth placed Rosario Central. Hosts Rosario have had extra rest days, as they didn’t have a cup game. They will hope this plays to their advantage, having won just once in six matches. Rosario have also lost just once in their last seven matches. The hosts biggest handicap is that they don’t score a lot. In their last six matches, they’ve managed four goals and failed to score in three games. Rosario have scored more than a goal once in six matches – the 2-0 win over Central Cordoba. Coming into this game, they came from down to draw 1-1 with Racing Club. That was their fourth draw in six games.

River Plate have three days of rest before resuming action after their loss to Talleres de Cordoba in Copa Argentina. That loss marked the second time in three games that they failed to score. It was also their first loss in four matches but they have two clean sheets in the last four games. Three of their last four matches have also produced under 2.5 goals. River Plate have however managed more than a goal in two of the last four matches. With just one away win in eight matches, River Plate will be under pressure here. They have also failed to beat Rosario in their last two meetings.
