Overview
- Rosario Central visit Gimnasia at the Estadio Juan Carmelo Zerillo on Saturday, September 27 at 14:30, with live coverage on TNT Sports.
- The LPF assigned Fernando Echenique as referee, with Yael Falcón Pérez overseeing VAR and Javier Delbarba as AVAR.
- Di María has four yellow cards in the Clausura after eight matches, so another caution in La Plata would rule him out of the next game against River on October 5.
- Since returning, Di María has started every match and delivered key goals, including a derby-winning free-kick against Newell's and an olympic strike versus Boca, while forming a consistent front-line pairing with Alejo Véliz.
- Central’s away performances have been stronger this tournament, highlighted by a win at Lanús through a Di María penalty and a draw in Tucumán, with the Sarmiento match in Junín suspended due to rain.
