Central and Argentinos Juniors will face each other today in Rosario, in a match that will begin the first day of the Professional Soccer League (LPF) 2023.
The match will be played from 7:15 p.m. at the Gigante de Arroyito, with the refereeing of Yael Falcón Pérez, who will be seconded by Juan Vázquez and Maximiliano Castelli, while the fourth referee will be Carlos Córdoba. The TV transmission will be in charge of the TNT Sports cable signal.
The coach of the “scoundrel” team, Miguel Ángel Russo, has the team almost confirmed, although he maintains a doubt in the attack zone: the inclusion of Fabricio Oviedo or Octavio Bianchi to accompany Jhonatan Candia in a pair.
The reinforcements of the Rosario team (Facundo Mallo, Carlos Quintana and Alan “Coyote” Rodríguez) will have their debut from the start.
Rosario Central will not face international competitions this year, so the local tournament will be its highest aspiration.
Argentinos Juniors, a team that will have the Copa Libertadores de América 2023 as its main objective, will begin the local tournament with the intention of improving the eighth place achieved in the last championship.
The “Bicho” coach, Gabriel Milito, will not shoot reinforcements Rodrigo Cabral, Leonardo Heredia, Alexis Martin Arias, Fabricio Dominguez, Francisco González Metilli, Matias Vera and Facundo Ferreyra from the start.
The record between Rosario Central and Argentinos Juniors records a total of 104 clashes with 40 wins for the “scoundrel”, 30 for “Bichito” from La Paternal and 34 draws.
