Rosario Central vs Arsenal Sarandi Prediction: Can Rosario Build on its Dream Start?

In the upcoming fixture of the Argentine Primera Division, Matchday 3, Rosario Central wil square off against Arsenal Sarandi at the Estadio Gigante de Arroyito in Rosario. After two matches Rosario stands 9th in the points table with a win and 4 points, whereas Arsenal Sarandi is yet to register a win in 2023 Argentine Primera Division. For the upcoming fixture, Rosario will be missing out Alan Marinelli and Arsenal will bench Joaquin Pombo due to a leg injury. The last time these two teams played against each other, Rosario won (0-3). For the upcoming home fixture Rosario will look to win by the odds.

Going in the 2023 season, Rosario carried an unbeaten form and has managed to stay consistent in the two initial games. In its last outing against Atletico Tigre (2-2), Juan Komar and Jhonatan Candia scored goals. However, the equalizer from Jhonatan stood out from other scorers. For the upcoming game, Rosario is likely to carry the same attack; Fabricio Oviedo and Jhonatan Candia leading the attack. In 28 matches against Arsenal de Sarandi, Rosario has scored 35 goals at an average of 1.25 goals per game. Hence, Rosario will look to maximize every goal scoring opportunity come their way tomorrow. 

Arsenal Sarandi is still in search of its first win of the season. After coming off a draw against Estudiantes (1-1), Arsenal will be looking forward to giving Rosario a tough time. In the last game, Santiago Toloza and Lucas Brochero teamed up for scoring an important equalizer in the 17th minute of play. However, after that both sides attempted several shots on target, but fate was a draw. Talking about Arsenal’s average against Rosario, it averages 1.161 goals in 28 matches, which is quite prolific and improved. In last 5 games, Arsenal has scored 8 goals, averaging 1.6 goals per game.

In recent Primera Division fixtures Rosario has certainly stood on top of its game. However, the game total has remained under 2.5 goals in 8 home matches for Rosario in Liga Professional. Two of the last three encounters between these two teams have seen over 2.5 goals. Hence, I am predicting a high scoring game with both teams managing to score. I will back Rosario to win and score over 2 goals against Arsenal.

• Rosario Central to Win for 1.95
• Total Over 2.5 for 2.53
• Correct Score 2-1 for 8.5
