Boca Juniors vs Rosario Central Match Preview
The sweetness of winning the Superclasico was soon forgotten at La Bombonera, as a shameful 4-1 against Chacarita has filled team's squad with insecurities and dissatisfaction. Martin Palermo's controversial fight with Abel Alves once he sent him to the changing rooms during last week is still sounding loud through Bombonera's alleys. Yet unable to fully recover from its knee injuries, Roman Riquelme is not confirmed to stand within the starting eleven, and with him Alves will be lacking a cornerstone of its strategy. Facing three matches in one week, Boca's fitness will be tested at a decisive moment. With Breyner Bonilla's return, team's defensive finds its last key, and Rosario might leapfrog the Xeneizes upon a victory.
This will be another chance for Rosario Central to attempt a shot off the basement, as they depend only on themselves to grab three points off a direct rival for the surface as Boca Juniors. Mario Paglialunga declared during the week "We must not be afraid of this match. Boca is wounded, but is a giant nevertheless" Looking forward to return to victory after two consecutive defeats, their chances of escaping from the risk zone are still bright; but their fight with the Acade to occupy the fourth place from the bottom will be endless if the Canallas do not obtain a triumph this week. Watch out for Jonathan Gomez, as team's performance has almost always been linked to this young's midfielder style.
