Rosario Central key player
Colombian Jaminton Campáz is one of the great figures of Club Atlético Rosario Central. Although he has not scored any goal in this version of the Argentinean Professional Soccer League Cup, he has registered an assist.
A great performance is expected from him visiting River Plate in this new commitment.
River Plate key player
The standout player at River Plate is 29-year-old Chilean center back Paulo Diaz. So far this season, he has shown a solid performance, with a 62% rate of duels won, both in aerial actions and on the ground. Paulo has become the team's most important pillar in the defensive zone. In addition, he averages 4.4 clearances per game, and also stands out for his ability with the ball at his feet, showing an average of 54.7 passes per game with an 87% effectiveness rate in his deliveries.
Rosario Central
Rosario Central comes to this match with a bad present, as a result of the regular performance it has been showing in the league. Although they won their most recent match against Peñarol, the team from Rosario has gained a lot of confidence with the passing of the matches.
However, they must be very alert because they have dropped important points, so any slip-up could leave them empty-handed. In the meantime, the team has been preparing for this match, a new opportunity to add a trophy to its trophy cabinet.
River Plate
The Argentine team is in fourth place in Group A of the League Cup, right at the bottom of the standings. So far in the tournament, they have 5 wins, 6 draws and 1 loss. This team has conquered the trophy on 4 occasions, their last victory being in 2018. In their most recent encounter, they faced Huracán and suffered a 1-0 defeat. Despite having an extra player on the field since the 80th minute, River Plate failed to equalize the score and also lost their unbeaten run in the tournament. Although they dominated possession of the ball, the team did not show enough depth in their attacks and did not generate great danger for their opponents. The opportunities they did have were threatening, but they failed to convert them in the box.
The match will take place at the Estadio Monumental
The match will take place at the Estadio Monumental, also known as Estadio Más Monumental, a sports venue located in Buenos Aires, Argentina. This structure is owned by Club Atlético River Plate and was inaugurated on May 26, 1938 under the presidency of Antonio Vespucio Liberti.
With a capacity of 84,567 spectators, the Monumental is the largest soccer stadium in Argentina and the Americas. In addition to being the home of River Plate, this stadium is also the place where the Argentine National Team plays its home matches. Throughout its history, the Monumental has witnessed major sporting events, including four Copa América finals (in 1946, 1959, 1987 and 2011) and the FIFA World Cup Final in 1978.
