Penarol - Rosario Central predictions and free betting tips [28/05/2024]

Libertadores Cup, 6th round of the group stage (Group G), 29.05.2024. Rosario Central flies to Uruguay to clash with Peñarol.

Peñarol

In the last five matches, Peñarol has looked superb, claiming victories over Progreso 3:1, Defensor Sporting 2:0, Atlético Mineiro 2:0, Montevideo Wanderers 1:0, and Caracas 1:0. In the regular championship, they are leading the table with a decent gap and are evidently aiming for the title this season. 

Rosario Central

On the other hand, the visitors are not having the best of times. They started the Argentine Superliga with a painful defeat against Argentinos Juniors 2:3, but are gradually picking up the pace. In the Cup, they are currently in third place within the group, making this match essentially a battle for a place in the last 16. However, going up against an in-form Peñarol, especially away, will be quite challenging.

Prediction and Bet on the Match Peñarol vs. Rosario Central

A battle for progression to the next stage is on the horizon. The hosts are on a five-match winning streak and are playing confidently (I don’t think they have lost form over three days), while the visitors currently have issues with their defence. A draw might suffice for Peñarol, but why not aim for the top spot? I’ll take a win for the home team.
