With a completely healthy squad available to select from, the Rosario Central boss Jorge Almirón does not have any fitness concerns at all ahead of this clash.

We’re of the thinking that El Canalla might make use of a 4-2-3-1 formation using Jeremias Ledesma, Emanuel Coronel, Ignacio Ovando, Gaston Avila, Agustín Sández, Franco Ibarra, Vicente Pizarro, Enzo Giménez, Angel Di Maria, Enzo Copetti and Alejo Veliz.

⚡ Prediction

We’re of the view that River Plate have it within them to score at least once when they play Rosario Central, who might well find it difficult scoring.

We’re therefore expecting to see a controlled 2-0 winning score for River Plate at full-time.
