River Plate vs Rosario Central
📖 The Preview
River Plate at home are just about favourites here, and the head-to-head record backs that up with four wins from eight meetings. Neither side is in sparkling form right now, but River edge it on home advantage and that slight probability lead. Rosario Central have shown they can mix it, so don't expect this to be comfortable, but the models are pointing to a tight, low-scoring affair where River nick it with a single goal and keep the sheet clean.
