Estudiantes vs Rosario Central Match Preview
Estudiantes is successfully advancing both in the Libertadores and the tournament, and Alejandro Saballa's boys might even be able to celebrate the Argentinean title if Independiente manages to stop Argentinos and the Pincha obtain at least a single point against the Canallas. The current American champion is the only Argentinean team within the best eight, and it looks like May will be a fruitful month for Estudiantes. Last week's victory over Chacarita came with a bitter aftertaste, as Rodrigo Braña's knee injury will be keeping him off the fields for what's left on this season. This will be a bucket of cold water for Pachorra Sabella, for Braña will be joining Marcos Rojo and Marcelo Carrusca in the Operation Room, Nonetheless Enzo Perez and Juan Sebastian Veron can put team's engine in motion and create opportunities for Mauro Boselli and Gaston Fernandez to exploit and retain the full scoring home.
Rosario Central's present is a fragile one, and their continuity in Argentina's highest category will depend on the Relegation matches held once this tournament is over. It'll be mandatory for the Canallas to reach such defining match with as much impulse as possible, and this will be a test of fire that might completely change players' spirit, for upon a victory it'll become clear Rosario is meant for the higher battles, and the team needs to recover its shape while keeping the players as fit as possible. Two important absences will take place for this match, for Luis Madelon needs to take care of its players for the match for the category. Mario Paglialunga and Diego Braghieri will not be able to perform, seriously weakening midfield's creation. This will be particularly determinant against one of this league's most creative teams, forcing Madelon to adopt a defensive formation not to be sunk at the bottom of the positions table; will they resist Pincha's rage for the title?
