Rosario Central form and stats
OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Rosario Central's two home games in the Superliga so far this season, having collected 3 points here at Estadio Dr. Lisandro de la Torre. With three straight defeats the pressure is piling up on Rosario to get some points in this home game.
The Rosario fans got no joy from their last match, a Copa Sudamericana game also here at Estadio Dr. Lisandro de la Torre: A 3-4 defeat against Bragantino. As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today?
Prior to that, an away loss at Sarmiento in the Superliga.There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Rosario as they are travelling to their away game against Bragantino in the Copa Sudamericana. That match is three days after this one.
