Union 1-0 Rosario Central - Liga Profesional 2024 Statistical Preview

Bruno Pitton is back in the line-up following his injury absence.
Claudio Corvalan will not be available however following his red card against Racing Club.
Nicolas Paz remains an injury doubt but he will replace Corvalan if he is fit in time.

Enzo Copetti could come into the starting line-up to replace as the side that started against Huracan was missing a number of key men following their continental exploits.
Starting the same side that faced Internacional in the Sudamericana may well be a possibility for Rosario Central.

Prediction

Union are well placed in the table heading into this one but they have returned from the international break in disappointing fashion with one point picked up from a possible six - albeit against a step-up in opponent as Estudiantes and Racing Club are.
In spite of that, Union have retained their key assets over the summer and having a consistent line-up to choose from enables them to build consistency and fight higher up the division.
Rosario Central have made a disappointing start to the campaign but a narrow defeat to league leaders Huracan saw one of their best performances of the campaign - something they can build on following their 4-2 victory over Sarmiento prior to that.
Progress as group winners in Copa Sudamericana enables Rosario Central to focus on domestic action for the next month prior to their tie against Fortaleza in mid-August.
Enzo Copetti's addition gives Rosario Central multiple options in the forward line and with a hectic fixture list ahead, they will need everyone to ensure they remain competitive on all fronts.
