Rosario Central form and stats

The story so far in the Superliga for Rosario Central at their home stadium (Estadio Dr. Lisandro de la Torre) is 4 wins, 1 draw and 2 defeats.

Rosario shared the glory with Boca Juniors in their last match, an away game that ended all square 0-0. A painful moment in the game against Boca Juniors was the missed penalty kick from Servio in the 12th minute. A goal there would obviously have changed the match and probably the outcome. Goalkeeper Servio got the top rating on the team in that game; 7.45 out of ten. Servio saved a penalty and topped it up with a clean sheet.

Ahead of that match, Rosario Central won a home game hosting Barracas Central (3-1).

This is expected to be a close game, with Rosario Central perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Rosario Central as a small favourite), we find 11 games. Rosario Central has won 6 of these, drawn 4 and lost 1.

It should be considered that a peek at the 14 most recent league matches reveals that 11 of them qualified as a both teams not to score result (only one or none of the sides scored).

Rosario Central have scored 6 league goals here from 7 matches, not a lot. Rosario have only conceded 5 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Banfield form and stats

Playing away, Banfield have won 2 games, drawn 2 and suffered 2 defeats in the Superliga this season.

Banfield might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Racing Club proved too strong as Banfield slumped to a 0-2 defeat in front of their own fans at Estadio Florencio Solá. Gissi, who plays in defense, got the "man of the match" on his team with the rating 7.8. Gissi won 4 of 4 duels.

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Platense wasn't a success with a 1-3 loss.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Banfield playing away and similar expectations, we found 13 relevant matches. Results were 4 Banfield wins, 7 draws and 2 defeats.
