Sarmiento and Rosario Central have met several times in recent years, and Rosario Central are the side that has taken the win in almost every one of those games. Most recently, in April, they won 2-1. This time they come to play at Sarmiento's home, which is a different story from previous meetings, because Sarmiento need points to move up from 13th place. Sarmiento this season have scored 22 and conceded 21 in 14 matches. They are a team whose defence is not overly bad, but their attack is not sharp enough to close out games on their own. Their last match was a 0-2 defeat. Rosario Central, meanwhile, are in hot form, on a winning run and unbeaten in 5 matches. They have scored 22 and conceded just 11 in 14 matches, numbers that clearly show their defence is tighter than the hosts'. This game is likely to see Rosario Central as the side that has to open up and attack, because their position and form demand they take the win. Sarmiento, meanwhile, will likely drop back into a defensive block and wait for the moment to counter through the speed of their forwards. If Sarmiento can hold firm and not concede early, the game will become even more uncomfortable for the visitors, and there is a high chance the hosts will grind out a draw or get a goal from a counterattack.
