First match in the Argentine championship and for the third group, Rosario Central is thrown into battle with Godoy Cruz.
Rosario Central finished ninth in the standings last year and thus took a place for the upcoming Copa Sudamericana. It was not as we would have expected last season, it was difficult in many of its games, it did not have the solutions in midfield, while its defense was not one of the most stable. The many financial problems he faces, had several effects on the team. Starting with the departure of coach Coca and in whose place was taken the newcomer to the field of coaching Kili Gonzalez. She weakened a lot in terms of her roster as she left almost all of last year's main body. Players like Marco Ruben, Ledesma and Brites were almost the whole team! He can no longer count on them ... Many new additions, mainly small ones from the second group. Experience will clearly take place in this year's Rosary.
On the other hand, Godoy Cruz wants to leave behind last year's bad year. He did not do well at all, having only six victories in the whole championship. Skiaqua is a thing of the past with the inexperience of first class Martines taking over the reins of the team. The emblematic forward Garcia remained in the team, but he is not considered for today's game due to injury. Many additions and subtractions have been made to the roster and how the team will appear in its first official match remains a mystery.
Both have changed a lot both on the team benches and in the roster. They are in a transitional period and we are waiting to see how they will appear. There is excitement in the beginning, the little ones want to seize the opportunity. I will keep the over 2.5 at odds of 2.08.
