Editor's Prediction
Rosario Central enter the match as favorites, but their Achilles' heel is their attacking play. The team has failed to score more than one goal in each of their last eight matches, and a similar trend is evident in their head-to-head encounters with Newell's Old Boys, where they have been limited to a single goal in seven of their last eight meetings. Against this backdrop, betting on Rosario scoring under 1.5 goals seems like a well-founded prediction.
