Central can edge a tense game
Form and recent results
Rosario Central's poor form sees them approach Sunday's game in 11th place in Liga Profesional – Clausura 2026 with 4 points after 3 games, while visitors Club Atletico Aldosivi have just 1 point after 3 games in 24th spot.
Jorge Almiron's men have been inconsistent in 2026, with the most recent results (2-1 L, 0-0 D, 0-1 W) telling the story. A 1-1 away draw at Defensa y Justicia, a 1-0 defeat at Barracas Central and a 1-2 home loss to Gimnasia y Esgrima La Plata have Aldosivi in poor form ahead of this trip.
Team tactics
Almiron's side are versatile, able to switch into a 4-2-3-1 formation or play three at the back when in possession.
Israel Damonte has a pragmatic set-up that is defense-first, clogging up central lanes, compact and disciplined, looking to counter from a low block.
- They favour width and tempo, with Julian Fernandez their sharpest edge with 1 goal in 1 LPF appearance in 2026.
- Gaston Avila also adds some flair from deeper areas, notching up 1 assist in 2 LPF games.
- Tomas Fernandez has been Aldosivi's main outlet from midfield in 2026, but they haven't scored enough so far.
- He has 1 assist in 3 LPF in Clausura 2026, while Nicolas Cordero has 1 goal in 3 appearances and 2 of Aldosivi's 6 goals in their last 5.
Match outlook
This game looks like a clash of styles and a bit of a chess match, with Almiron's team looking to pull the strings and control territory, while Damonte's men will look to cover the centre of the field and make Central play wide, turning this game into a grinding match rather than a shootout. The odds reflect the mismatch with Central 1.52, the draw at 3.65 and Aldosivi at 7.2.
Central are the correct selection, but this could be tight and it will be a low scoring game. The under 2.5 goals line at 1.57 is likely to land, but Both Teams To Score – No at 1.5 looks the sharper angle here. Rosario Central's control and greater odds should see them across the line in what will be a tight game.
