Rosario Central are in excellent form and rightfully top the standings after 15 rounds played. They have not suffered a defeat in their last seven league matches and continued their streak with a hard-fought, but important 1-0 victory away to San Lorenzo. They have won all six of their home games so far, scoring 13 goals and conceding just 4.
Independiente seeks recoveryIndependiente suffered a 0-2 defeat in their visit to Atletico Tucuman, ending an impressive streak of ten matches without a loss. Nevertheless, the team remains in the fight at the top, trailing Rosario by just three points. Independiente knows how to defend well away from home and will look for ways to trouble the leader in the standings, as they have done in the last three direct encounters where they have not been defeated.
Prediction: Under 2.5 goalsBoth teams are performing steadily, and the top of the table clash suggests a more cautious approach. Rosario win their home games with controlled play, while Independiente are a tough nut to crack as an away opponent. Given the form and results of both teams, we expect a contested and tight match with few goals.
