Argentine Primera División, Apertura 2025: Rosario Central-Lanús, likely lineups

Rosario Central-Lanùs, the likely lineups

Tonight at 11:15 p.m., Rosario Central and Lanús will face each other, two teams seeking redemption in this 2025 start. The hosts come from their brilliant 0-3 success against Godoy Cruz, a result that restored enthusiasm after a disappointing 2024. The guests, on the other hand, will be looking to redeem themselves after the 0-2 home defeat against Deportivo Riestra, which also highlighted some shortcomings on the physical level, especially in the finale. 

Holan’s Rosario Central confirms the 4-2-3-1, relying on a defense with Mallo Blanco and Quintana in the middle and Coronel and Sandez as full-backs. On the three-quarter will be Duarte, Malcorra and Campaz, who will give a strong hand to the first forward Copetti.

Pellegrino’s Lanús responds with the same form, relying on the’experience of Izquierdoz and Muñoz in defense and the Carrera-Cardozo pair in the midfield. In the three-quarter, Salvio, Moreno and Orozco offer speed and technique, while Bou will be the advanced reference to look for a reaction after the last defeat. 

Probable lineups

Rosario Central (4-2-3-1): Broun; Coronel, Mallo Blanco, Quintana, Sandez; O’Connor, Ibarra; Duarte, Malcorra, Campaz; Copetti. Coach: Holan.

Lanús (4-2-3-1): Losada; Caceres, Izquierdoz, Munoz, Marcich; Carrera, Cardozo; Salvio, Marcelino Moreno, Orozco; Bou. Coach: Pellegrino.
