July 8th features a match where Rosario Central will play host to Sarmiento in a meeting of these two extremely mismatched Superliga teams. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 10 degrees, which is great football weather. In their last match, Rosario Central recorded a 0-1 loss against Gimnasia La Plata. R. Sosa Acosta scored the first goal for Gimnasia La Plata in the 79th minute, and that single goal was all that was necessary as neither team could manage any more scoring In the end, Rosario Central couldn’t muster any offence and Gimnasia La Plata ran away with the shutout win. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having lost 6 of their last 10, while in their last match, Sarmiento recorded a 1-1 draw against Racing Club. Torres scored the first goal for Sarmiento in the 46th minute on a penalty shot, then Enzo Copetti tied it up for Racing Club in the 74th minute on a feed from Gabriel Hauche earning Racing Club a comeback draw. Sarmiento is looking for direction having 3 win and 4 losses in their last 10 matches.
This match will be the first time these two teams face eachother this season. Last season Sarmiento won the head to head battle with 1 win.
Torres has been the most prolific scorer on Sarmiento in the last 5 matches with 2 goals. Marco Ruben and Veliz are the top scorers for Rosario Central in the last five matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal.
