Rosario Central have had a poor start to the new tournament as well - just one point from two matches. Over their last ten games, they've been averaging 1.2 goals scored and 1.2 conceded per match, which doesn't point to any clear edge for either attack or defence. Recent form is weak: one win, one draw and three defeats in five matches. With that kind of inconsistency, it won't be easy for the visitors to take advantage of River's struggles - even if the hosts are clearly far from their best right now.
