Happy days for Defensa y Justicia in their previous game, a Superliga match away at Racing Club (placed 16th) that ended with a 2-1 victory. Manager S. Beccacece felt very clever after Franco Paredes scored the winning goal against Racing Club, having brought on that player as a substitute in the 46th minute.

Ahead of that match, Defensa y Justicia won a home game hosting Platense (2-1).The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Justicia's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played four games, won two matches, drawn one and lost one.
With an average of more than two goals per home game in the league (18 in 9 games), Defensa y Justicia's attacking play is working. On the other hand, Justicia have conceded 9 goals.
Rosario Central form and stats

Rosario Central play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 1-3 to Union Santa Fe (placed 13th). Rosario Central goalie Jorge Broun was happy for a splendid day against Union Santa Fe, but even with pulling off six saves the defeat could not be avoided. Marco Rubén, attacking player, was the top performer on the team in that game, scoring a match rating of 7.41. Rubén scored one goal.
A home win before that, celebrating 2-1 vs Racing Club.Looking at the earlier recent performances of Rosario Central when being an outsider away as they are today, we find one match with the visitors losing zero times, drawing one and winning zero games.
Rosario Central have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 10 league away games 13 goals have been scored. In the opposite end, Rosario Central have conceded 18 goals in their away games.
