Banfield sit 25th in the Clausura table with nine points from ten rounds and have not won since late August. Rosario Central arrive in far better shape, eighth in the standings on eighteen points and unbeaten in three straight. The two clubs have met twice in recent seasons and both games were decided by a single goal, a surprising detail given how much stronger Rosario looks on paper right now. We predict the gap between these two sides shows up clearly on the scoreboard this time.
Watch Ángel Di María closely, he has scored three of Rosario’s last six goals and leads the squad in shots over the past month. On the home side, Lautaro Martín Gómez has been Banfield’s most direct attacking outlet with two goals in his last four appearances, practically the only bright spot in a struggling lineup.
Hot stat: Di María has racked up 14 shots and a free-kick goal in just four matches for Rosario Central, directly producing more than half of the club’s goal involvements across that stretch, a clear sign of where the away side’s threat is concentrated.

Banfield vs Rosario Central prediction
Our pick leans toward Rosario Central to win with both sides scoring. Banfield have conceded in every single match of their last five and sit with the second-worst goal difference in the league, minus five. Rosario, by contrast, have found the net in four of their last five away from home and carry far more individual quality in the final third through Di María and Enzo Copetti. Backing the away win alongside BTTS gives decent value given Banfield’s habit of scoring at least once even in defeats.
Banfield commit more fouls per match, 12.4 against Rosario’s 10.2, and pick up more cards too, averaging two bookings compared with 1.8 for the visitors. Rosario complete passes at a noticeably higher rate, around 76% against Banfield’s 70%, and they also win more corners, 4.8 per match compared to 3 for the hosts. That control of territory and tempo should let Rosario dictate the game, forcing Banfield into the kind of deeper, reactive defending that has already cost them sixteen goals this season.

Team Analysis
Banfield’s last outing ended 2-2 against Gimnasia LP, continuing a run of three straight draws preceded by a loss, no wins across their last four games. Before that stretch they drew with Barracas Central and Deportivo Riestra and lost 1-3 to Aldosivi, a run that shows a side struggling to close matches out despite scoring regularly. In our preview of Banfield vs Barracas Central we called a narrow home win built on Barracas’s goal drought, and the 1-1 result went against us, Banfield simply could not find the breakthrough.
Rosario Central’s most recent match was a convincing 3-1 win over Estudiantes LP, their third win in four outings. Before that they beat Argentinos Juniors 1-0 and Tigre 1-0, showing a side that grinds out tight wins on the road just as easily as it wins big at home. In our preview of Rosario Central vs Argentinos Juniors we called a tight, low-scoring draw, and the 1-0 result went against that specific call, though the match did stay under 2.5 goals as expected.

Pre-game odds and win probability: Rosario Central the favourite
- Moneyline Banfield 4.00 | Rosario Central 1.92
- Draw 3.25
Bookmakers price Rosario Central as clear favourites, and the market’s confidence lines up with the underlying numbers, a 53% win rate this year against Banfield’s 30%. The draw sits attractively priced given the two previous head-to-head meetings were both tight, but Rosario’s current form, three wins in four, makes backing the outright away win the sounder play, perhaps paired with BTTS for extra value.
Possible Starting Lineups
Banfield possible starting eleven
- GK: Diego Rodriguez
- DF: Nicolás Meriano, Brandon Oviedo, Ignacio Abraham, Santiago Daniele
- MF: Santiago Esquivel, Santiago López García, Lautaro Martín Gómez, Tomas Adoryan, Favio Álvarez
- FW: Alexander Machado
Troglio’s likely 4-2-3-1 leans on Esquivel and López García shielding the back four, while Gómez gets the nod ahead of Adoryan for his two goals in four appearances. Machado leads the line with more minutes than any other forward on the roster, though his lack of goals this stretch is a concern against a tighter Rosario back line.
Rosario Central possible starting eleven
- GK: Axel Werner
- DF: G.Agustin Sandez, Gaston Avila, Ignacio Ovando, Emanuel Coronel
- MF: Franco Ibarra, Federico Navarro, Ángel Di María, Vicente Pizarro, Jaminton Campaz
- FW: Enzo Copetti
Almirón sticks with the same 4-2-3-1 that has delivered three wins in four. Di María operates just behind Copetti and has been directly involved in most of the team’s attacking output recently, while Ibarra’s 359 minutes across the sample confirm his role as the anchor in midfield.

The Verdict
We predict Rosario Central wins this one, perhaps 2-1, given Banfield’s leaky defense and the visitors’ sharper form across the last month. Banfield have shown they can score, five goals combined across their last five matches, but their inability to keep clean sheets, conceding in every single recent outing, points toward another game where both sides find the net. To be honest, the double chance draw-or-Rosario looks the safer insurance bet for those wary of Banfield’s recent stubbornness at home, but our primary call stays with the away win and BTTS.
