Argentinos Juniors vs Rosario Central prediction 20.03.2024

• Competition: Copa de la Liga Profesional
• Date: Wednesday, 20th March 2024
• Kickoff: 00:15 UTC / 01:15 CET
• Venue: Estadio Diego Armando Maradona (Buenos Aires)

After securing the Copa Argentina 1/16 Finals in the previous matches, Argentinos Juniors and Rosario Central will face off in the 11th round of Copa de la Liga Profesional at Estadio Diego Armando Maradona in Buenos Aires.

Argentinos Juniors had a pretty poor last season, but this year, it started a lot better for the team from La Paternal in Buenos Aires. They have won 18 points so far - on a level with points with a few other teams for the first place. The primary reason for their excellent start to the season is their incredible home record with all five wins! 

Rosario Central surprised many people with a title in Copa de la Liga Profesional last year. They truly had an excellent run, but this season, they are not as good. Yes, they are only four points away from the top spot, but they are not playing well, especially on the offensive end, where they scored only seven goals and are among the worst teams in that category. 

Argentinos Juniors vs Rosario Central pick: Argentinos Juniors to win

Argentinos Juniors have been fantastic at home. They won all five matches and scored 13 goals, almost twice as many as Rosario Central in all ten games in the competitions. 

Just like Argentinos Juniors, Rosario Central are also doing well at home but struggling away from it. So far, they average 2.5 points per game at home while only 0.67 on the road. Also, considering they lost four of the last five road matches, we highly doubt they can secure a positive result. 

In the previous h2h game at Estadio Diego Armando Maradona, Argentinos Juniors won 2:1. Considering all the above, we believe that the home side should secure all three points.
