Atletico Rafaela take on the visitors Rosario Central in the round of 32 in Copa Argentina. The match will be played on Thursday, September 1st at Nuevo Monumental Stadium.
Atletico Rafaela failed previous season in Argentine Primera, finishing on the last 15th in the league, gaining only nine points in 16 matches. The team advanced for this stage after eliminating Ferro in the previous round, beating them in penalty shootout after 2-2 draw. Atletico Rafaela lost their first match of new season to Atletico Tucuman, 1-0. Today’s hosts are unable to win in their last six matches in a row in all competitions since the end of April. The home record of the team is also quite poor: one win, three draws and five defeats. Clearly, Atletico Rafaela is one of the worst teams in top Argentine league at the moment.

Rosario Central failed the end of previous season as the team was focused on Copa Libertadores. So, today’s visitors couldn’t take a single win in last eight games of the season and finished seventh with 20 points and 19-16 goal difference. Previous round of the competition ended with 1-0 win over Villa Mitre and the first round of new season got them one points after 0-0 draw with Defensa y Justicia.
Neither of the teams have advantage in head-to-heads. However, the hosts appear to be one of the weakest side in the league at the moment and they clearly won’t be able to battle in both domestic competitions. Atletico Rafaela’s priority is Primera and we shouldn’t expect top football from them in this cup match.
Prediction for the match: Rosario Central to win.
