Belgrano form and stats

6-3-3 (win-draw-lost) are the Superliga numbers at home for Belgrano so far this season. The Belgrano manager Farré might feel some added pressure to get something from this game after two straight home defeats.

Times are rough for the home team, having gone 464 minutes without scoring a league goal. Jara was the last player to find the net.

Belgrano faced defeat in their previous match, away at Estudiantes (0-4). Belgrano were outplayed and humiliated in their previous game, as mentioned in the paragraph above. They will need to reinstall their confidence before this one. Losada had a busy but productive day in the Estudiantes match. Despite making six saves the loss could not be prevented.

Ahead of that match, Belgrano lost 0-1 at home to San Lorenzo.

It should be added that a peek at the 18 latest league matches shows that 16 of them qualified as a both teams to score: NO result (only one or none of the teams scored).

Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Claypole are coming to town in four days.

Belgrano have only conceded 8 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above. It's worth mentioning that 4 of these goals has been conceded in their last three home matches.

Rosario Central form and stats

There's been little loot from Rosario Central's travels as they have only collected 9 points from 12 away games in the Superliga. Rosario Central only have 1 win to counter their 5 defeats and 6 draws.

Rosario played 3-3 against River Plate in their previous match. As you can tell from the result, the match against River Plate was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 6 goals, will the fun continue today? As mentioned above, Rosario Central drew the match against River Plate. Manager Russo brought on Ferreyra to rescue the draw from a losing position and it worked. Veliz, attacking player, was the top performer on the team in that game, scoring a match rating of 8.84. Veliz scored two goals, hit the woodwork once and hit one key pass.

Before that, Rosario Central travelled to Racing Club and returned home with a draw after the game finished 1-1.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Rosario manager Russo as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Chaco For Ever.

The visitors have scored 9 goals from 12 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. As for defending, Rosario Central rarely keep clean sheets as they have conceded 18 goals from these away matches. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 2 of these goals has been conceded in their last three away matches.

Head 2 Head
