In a mid week match on Tue Feb 15th, in week 2, Rosario Central will host Vélez Sarsfield at Estadio Dr. Lisandro De La Torre in a Superliga match. The game day is forecasted to be a cloudy but hot day with daytime temperatures of 38 degrees, which hopefuly doesnt affect the pace of the match. 3rd placed Rosario Central is fresh off their 1-1 draw against Arsenal de Sarandi. Sebastián Lomónaco struck first for Arsenal de Sarandi in the 10th minute, then in the 33rd minute, Emiliano Vecchio sent in a beautiful pass which was converted by Marco Ruben earning Rosario Central a comeback draw. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having earned only 10 points in their last 10 matches, while vélez Sarsfield has not played yet this season.
This will be the first match for these two teams against eachother this season. Last season Rosario Central won the head to head battle with 1 win.
Juan Martin Lucero has been the most prolific scorer on Vélez Sarsfield in the last 5 matches with 2 goals. Rosario Central is fortunate enough to have Marco Ruben in top form. In the last 5 matches the attacker has scored 8 goals.
