Argentinos v Rosario Central: crucial clash at Diego Maradona | OneFootball

El Bicho will look to bounce back against a Canalla side that arrives on a high after winning the Rosario derby. The match will be played this Wednesday from 5:30 p.m. as part of Matchday 10 of the Torneo Apertura.

Argentinos Juniors will host Rosario Central this Wednesday from 5:30 p.m. at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium, in a match corresponding to Matchday 10 of the 2026 Torneo Apertura. The team led by Nicolás Diez will try to leave behind a difficult present and stop a Canalla side that comes in with high confidence after their good run in the championship.

The Bicho is going through tough times in La Paternal. The early elimination from the Copa Libertadores against Barcelona of Ecuador was followed by a last-minute draw against Barracas Central, a result that left negative feelings both for the performance and the development of the match. Amidst this context, the club received inquiries from Boca Juniors for Alan Lescano and Hernán López Muñoz, two of their main playmakers, although both will remain with the squad at least until mid-year.

On the other side is a Rosario Central experiencing a completely different present. The team managed by Jorge Almirón is coming off another victory in the Rosario derby against Newell’s, a result that solidified the team’s good moment and turned initial doubts into excitement among their fans.

For Canalla, the only concern is the situation of Ángel Di María, who is dealing with an injury that became evident during the derby and was confirmed in the following days. Nevertheless, the recent break in Argentine football helped ensure the absence did not have an immediate impact, while the club awaits decisions regarding the pending Supercopa Internacional.

Probable lineup for Argentinos Juniors: Brayan Cortés; Francisco Álvarez, Román Riquelme, and Sebastián Prieto; Leandro Lozano, Hernán López Muñoz, Federico Fattori, Alan Lescano, and Lautaro Giaccone; Leandro Fernández and Diego Porcel. Manager: Nicolás Diez.

Probable lineup for Rosario Central: Jorge Broun; Enzo Giménez, Luca Raffin, Ignacio Ovando, Alexis Soto, Agustín Sández; Federico Navarro, Vicente Pizarro; Julián Fernández, Alejo Véliz, and Jaminton Campaz. Manager: Jorge Almirón.
