On Saturday, July 20, Rosario Central will host Sarmiento in the 6th round match of the Second Phase of the Argentine Primera. The analysts at Dailysports have prepared a forecast and betting tips for this match.
Rosario Central
Rosario Central currently occupies the 15th position with 6 points after 5 rounds: 1 win, 3 draws, and 1 loss. However, the Second Phase of the Primera has just started, so Rosario Central still has plenty of opportunities to climb higher. For example, they are only three points behind River Plate, who are in seventh place.
In the previous round, Rosario Central played a 1:1 draw against Godoy Cruz, and before that, they had the same scoreline against Lanús. Their only victory so far came in the 3rd round match against modest Deportivo Riestra (2:0). Additionally, Rosario Central is still competing in the Copa Sudamericana, where they defeated Brazilian side Internacional 1:0 in the first leg of the Round of 16.
Sarmiento
Sarmiento has accumulated one more point than Rosario Central, currently sitting in 12th place. This is an excellent result for a team that managed only 9 points in 14 matches during the First Phase of the Argentine Primera. Sarmiento was considered one of the main candidates for relegation, but so far in the Second Phase, they have been pleasing their fans.
Sarmiento travels to Rosario on the back of two consecutive victories. In the previous round, "Los Verdes" defeated Estudiantes 2:0 at home, and before that, they won 1:0 away against San Lorenzo. In the 5 matches of the Second Phase, Sarmiento has conceded only 4 goals.

Rosario Central vs Sarmiento prediction
It is difficult to predict a winner in this match, but I think both teams will make defensive mistakes due to fatigue. My bet is on over 1.5 goals.
