Rosario Central will host Boca this Sunday starting at 5:30 p.m. at the Gigante de Arroyito, as part of their match for the eighth round of the Clausura Tournament.

The “Xeneize” comes into this match on a good run, as after the worst streak of winless games in its history, they managed to win three matches in a row. The team led by Miguel Ángel Russo, who was recently in intensive care for health reasons and will return to his place on the bench, is in third place in Zone A with 12 points.

This improvement has also allowed the La Ribera side to move up to second place in the annual season standings and keep alive their hopes of securing a ticket to the 2026 Copa Libertadores.

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

The team managed by Ariel Holan has yet to fully 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 games and have not scored more than one goal in any match.

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. Manager: Ariel Holan.
