Argentinos Juniors and Central Norte Clash for a Spot in the Copa Argentina Round of 32

This Wednesday, Argentinos Juniors and Central Norte meet at Estadio Ciudad de Caseros for a Round of 32 match in the 2025 Copa Argentina. Argentinos, sitting third in their Apertura group with 26 points, aims to rebound from their recent derby loss to Platense. A win in this cup match would secure their place in the Round of 16, where Excursionistas await, and provide a morale boost ahead of the league’s final stretch.

On the other side, Central Norte, currently 14th in Group B of the Primera Nacional, hopes to add their name to the list of second-tier teams that have toppled top-flight sides. Coached by Víctor Riggio, the Salta-based team sees this as a golden chance to make headlines in Argentina’s most unpredictable competition.

Diego Rodríguez; Leandro Lozano, Francisco Álvarez, Erik Godoy, Román Vega; Alan Rodríguez, Federico Fattori, Lucas Gómez; Alan Lescano, Tomás Molina, José María Herrera. Head coach: Nicolás Diez.

PredictedCentral Norte starting XI:
Alan González; Santiago Rinaudo, Cristian González, Juan Ignacio Alvacete, Matías Sánchez; Facundo Romero, Emanuel Giménez, Luciano Ferreyra, Tiago Banega; Agustín Bianciotti, Rodrigo Acosta. Head coach: Víctor Riggio.
