Game Prediction
The FIFA window for national teams opens next week. And the European clubs take a break of almost 2 weeks. Still, they will play in the New World in the next days. For instance, on Tuesday, Argentinos Juniors will compete with Rosario Central as part of the Diego Maradona Cup. The authors of the website have made a prediction for the match on March 20, 2024.
Argentinos Juniors is determined to stay in the tournament even after the end of the regular draw
“The Red Bugs” won in the Copa Libertadores, the main continental tournament. And they repeatedly took 1st place in the championship. However, the last time this happened was during the Clausura 2010. Speaking about the recent years, the ambitious club has slipped to the status of the middle peasants. There was a complete decline to 10th position in the previous cycle. That season ended under the leadership of Guede, who had replaced Gabi Milito. Still, now there is a chance to finish in the top 4 in the group, although the team started the spring with a defeat made by Independiente. And the struggle with Huracan ended with a 1-1 draw. Only the cup confrontation with the little-known opponent, Gimnasia y Tiro, brought a success.
Rosario Central is still in the middle of the standings
“The Rabble” was the champion of Argentina 4 times – still, that was in the 70-80s of the previous century. The last time the club managed to seriously remind itself was in the middle of the previous decade, when it had reached the cup final 4 times until the trophy was won in 2018. As for the championship, there were good, but modest results. The club rose from 20th to 8th position in the Primera in 2023. Nowadays, the results are also good, but not exorbitant. The spring started with a couple of defeats, and only the home battle against Instituto brought a 1-0 score, despite Quintana, who received a second yellow card in the 74th minute of the game, being sent off. Perhaps this backfired later, because the team lost to Douglas Haig on penalties in the cup game at the weekend.
