Deportivo Riestra vs Rosario Central
Deportivo Riestra secured an important point last Sunday, drawing 1-1 at home against Defensa y Justicia thanks to Jonathan Herrera’s goal in the 90th minute. The team remain unbeaten this year, collecting eight points in four matches, just two behind Group B leaders Rosario Central. In fact, they are undefeated in their last six league games (two wins and four draws). Additionally, Riestra extended their home unbeaten streak to 14 matches (seven wins and seven draws). All players are available for Wednesday’s match.
Rosario Central remain one of the top teams in the new season. On Saturday, the team played great football to secure a comfortable 3-1 victory over Atletico Tucuman at home. With this result, Ariel Holan’s side reached ten points in four Torneo Apertura matches, becoming the leaders of Group B. Including last season, El Canalla are now unbeaten in five league games, with four wins and one draw. In fact, Central lost just one of their last seven away matches, alongside two wins and four draws.
Rosario Central is expected to rest some starters (their goalkeeper Jorge Broun, defenders Quintana and Mallo, playmaker Malcorra and striker Campaz) because next Sunday they are playing the big derby vs Newell’s, so I’m going to trust Riestra to continue with their impressive undefeated run at home.
