Rosario Central hosts Boca this Sunday starting at 5:30 PM at the Gigante de Arroyito, as part of their match corresponding to the eighth round of the Clausura Tournament.

The "Xeneize" comes into this match on a good streak, having won three consecutive games after the worst run of winless matches in its history. The team led by Miguel Ángel Russo, who was recently in intensive care due to health issues and will return to his place on the bench, is in third position in Zone A with 12 points.

This improvement also allowed the team from La Ribera to position itself second in the annual season table and keep alive the hope of securing a ticket to the 2026 Copa Libertadores.

Rosario Central, on the other hand, is sixth in Zone B with 10 points, although they still owe a match against Sarmiento de Junín, corresponding to the seventh round of the Clausura Tournament, which was suspended due to weather conditions.

The team led by Ariel Holan has yet to convince, as despite having one of the best squads in the country, featuring world champion Ángel Di María, they have only won two of their six matches and have not scored more than one goal in any game.

Probable Lineups

Rosario Central: Jorge Broun; Emanuel Coronel, Juan Cruz Komar, Carlos Quintana, Agustín Sández; Ángel Di María, Franco Ibarra, Ignacio Malcorra, Jaminton Campaz, Federico Navarro or Santiago López; Alejo Véliz. Coach: Ariel Holan.

Boca: Leandro Brey; Juan Barinaga, Lautaro Di Lollo, Ayrton Costa, Lautaro Blanco; Brian Aguirre, Rodrigo Battaglia, Leandro Paredes, Carlos Palacios; Edinson Cavani and Miguel Merentiel. Coach: Miguel Ángel Russo.

The match can be watched live through the TNT Sports Premium channel. Additionally, Facundo Tello is the designated referee to ensure justice on the field, while Lucas Novelli will be in charge of the VAR controls in Ezeiza.
