There have been over 2.5 goals scored in 7 of Boca Juniors's last 8 home games (Liga Profesional). There have been over 2.5 goals scored in Rosario Central's last 4 games (Liga Profesional). Boca Juniors have won their last 3 home matches (Liga Profesional). Boca Juniors are undefeated in their last 8 home matches against Rosario Central in all competitions.
Boca Juniors' inconsistency continues to cost them. A recent run of WLWLWD says it all. Boca have failed to score in three of the last five games, which is simply not sustainable for a side of their stature. Rosario Central's Carlos Tevez bubble appeared to have burst, but a 3-1 win over Barracas Central with 10 men may have inspired an upturn in form. Tevez will be keen to get one over his former side and make an impression, but seven goals conceded in the last three says it may be an uphill battle. 2:1
Agustin Rossi will maintain his place despite public battles with Boca over his contract. Sergio Romero's arrival could change that soon. Hugo Ibarra may be forced to make some bold selection choices to find a winning solution. Tevez will likely make minimal changes despite a blip. Rosario will revert to 4-4-2.
