Internacional
The "Reds" have the potential to reach the decisive stages of the Copa Sudamericana. However, they first need to overcome Rosario Central. In the first leg, the Argentine club secured a home victory with a score of 1-0.
It's worth noting that Internacional's form in their domestic league is less than stellar, as they currently occupy the 13th spot in the Serie A standings. In their last match, they faced league leaders Botafogo away and lost 0-1.
Overall, in their last five matches, Internacional has suffered four defeats and has been unable to secure a win in their last eight games.
Rosario Central
Rosario Central, much like their playoff opponents, are struggling in the Argentine league. They currently sit in 10th place in the standings, with just nine points from six matches.
In their last league match, Rosario Central claimed three points with a convincing 4-2 home victory over Sarmiento Junín. This win, coupled with their Copa victory, marked their second consecutive win, following a four-match winless streak.
In their last five matches, Rosario Central has scored seven goals while conceding five. Thus, their defense cannot be considered reliable, although they managed to keep a clean sheet against Internacional in their home encounter.
Interesting Facts and Head-to-Head History
- The teams previously met in the 2005 Copa Sudamericana playoffs, resulting in a 1-1 draw at Internacional's ground and a 1-0 away win for the “Reds.”

Internacional vs Rosario Central Prediction
Internacional will undoubtedly do everything in their power to stage a comeback. We expect a very tense match with a minimum number of goals. Our bet is "Total Under 2.5" at odds of 1.70.
