Superliga: We're expecting an entertaining and important match involving Independiente and Rosario Central at Estadio Libertadores de América. They both need to win this!
- Independiente have scored in all their home matches so far.
- Rosario Central have the fewest scored goals (3) in Superliga
Both teams have had time to rest since their last work day in an official game. Let's trust this will be an animated game!
Independiente form and stats
Independiente have secured 6 points from their first three home games in the Superliga. A decent catch, still with room for improvement. When Independiente hosts teams that live in the bottom of the table (like Talleres Cordoba, Aldosivi, Lanus, Independiente, Defensa y Justicia, Tigre, Velez Sarsfield, Estudiantes and Patronato), they have won 2 of 4 matches! Independiente has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager Domínguez and the players.
In their previous game, the manager Domínguez led his Independiente to a defeat away at Racing Club. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Estadio Libertadores de América. Midfield player Marcone got a match rating of 7.25 in that game, the max score being 10. Marcone hit one key pass and dribled past the opponent 1 of 2 times.
Ahead of that match, Independiente lost 1-3 at home to Platense.The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Independiente have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 13 games) they have won 5 times, drawn 5 and lost 3.
The manager Domínguez will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Defensa y Justicia in only four days.
The Independiente fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 4 in 3 matches. Independiente have conceded 4 in these home matches. Independiente has at home met teams with this table position (low), four times. It has ended with less than 2.5 goals 3 of 4 times.
Rosario Central form and stats
It's not happening yet for Rosario Central on their Superliga travels, with zero points from their first 3 away games. Maybe today will be different? The pressure to perform on the road is increasing on Tevez, the Rosario Central manager, as the last three away games were defeats.
The fans enjoyed Rosario's previous fixture versus Sarmiento (placed 18th), a 1-0 win played at home. That win felt nice as this club had gone three league matches without victory. Midfield player Montoya was the top player of the team with a match rating of 8.44/10. Montoya served one assist, hit four key passes and had 73 successful passes (of 80 total).
Preceding that game, the 1-2 loss visiting Aldosivi's place.We have checked recent matches where Rosario Central have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those 10 games were 1 victory, 1 draw and 8 defeats.
Goals are few and far between in Rosario Central's away league games. Only 1 goal from 3 travels.
