Rosario Central will host Atletico Mineiro at the Gigante de Arroyito on Tuesday in another round of the 2024 Copa Libertadores campaign. The home side have had mixed results in their continental campaign this season but remain hopeful of advancement to the knockout stages.
They were held to a 1-1 draw against Caracas in their last match, falling behind midway through the first half before Agustin Modica came off the bench to level the scores in the second.
Rosario Central sit second in Group G with four points from three games. They will now look to shake off their latest results and return to winning ways this week.
Atletico Mineiro, meanwhile, have enjoyed a strong start to the Copa Libertadores this season and are closing in on a spot in the knockout stages. They picked up a narrow 3-2 victory over Penarol in their last match, holding a three-goal lead early in the second half via goals from Gustavo Scarpa and former Bayer Leverkusen man Paulinho before their opponents scored two consolation goals to ensure a frantic finish to the game.
The visitors sit atop their group with nine points from an obtainable nine and will confirm a spot in the knockout stages with a win on Tuesday, provided results elsewhere go in their favor.
