Rosario Central host Independiente Rivadavia in Argentina's top flight, with the home side having just ended their last match in a 1-1 draw, while the visitors also just drew 1-1. Both therefore come in under similar conditions: unbeaten but also without a win in their last match. Rosario Central are unbeaten in 5 straight league matches, and their home defence concedes very few goals. Independiente Rivadavia are also unbeaten in 4 straight, but they are the team that puts more shots on target (5.8 per game compared to 4.6 for the hosts) and has less possession (44.7% compared to 56.4%), which says they prefer to wait and counter rather than attack. This looks like a game where neither team will rush to open up against the other, because both are on unbeaten runs. If either gets the first goal, the game changes immediately from both waiting to the team chasing having to push up, and that will open space for the other side to counter more easily.
