Aldosivi Insider Soccer Info:
Cesar Carranza has left Aldosivi for Gimnasia de Mendoza, but he’s been the only move either in or out at the time of writing. Roger Martinez scored both goals in a very ‘pre-season’ 2:0 win over town rivals Kimberley, but later picked up a knee sprain which suggests that he’s out for around a month. Hernan Lamberti could be a doubt, having recently had surgery on his eye socket.
Suspended: Gaston Diaz, Jonathan Galvan (red cards); Matias Lequi (five yellow cards accumulated)
Doubtful: Hernan Lamberti (eye socket)
Injured/unavailable: Roger Martinez (right knee)

Head to Head:
These sides have met twice in the Primera, back in 1976, with one Central win and one draw. They’ve met far more recently – and frequently – in that last few years in the second tier, though.
Match Preview:
Aldosivi will be terribly pleased with how the first half of the season went, personally; twenty-one points and thirdteenth place (out of thirty, remember) gives them a more than decent platform to create on going into the second half of the campaign. What’s a lot of, I suspect the winter break might have come at more or less the proper time for them, as a result of there were signs that they were tiring towards the top of the semester; they lost three of their last four league games before the Copa America.
It’s a shame for them, in that respect, that they have such a tricky fixture to restart the season with – Central have only lost once all year in the league, and are up in fifth place, four points off the lead at the start of this weekend. A a 2:0 reversal away to River Plate is the sole loss Central have suffered, and with no disrespect to Aldosivi, they’re not on River’s level.
What’s additional, Aldosivi have a little unusually appeared to search out things a touch easier off from home – they’ve won two games in Mar Del Plata against four away, and have lost their last 2 in an exceedingly row at home. Central return into this match on a high morale-wise still, when deservedly knockout out River within the Copa Argentina just over per week ago – that they need some recent competitive football under their belts is a plus in itself, however that it had been an spectacular win against a very good side ought to boost them still a lot of.
Expect: Rosario Central Draw No Bet
