Rosario Central to Field Mixed XI for Low-Stakes Visit to Independiente

The fixture serves as a tune-up as Ariel Holan prioritizes rest before the playoffs.

Overview

  • Kickoff is Saturday, November 15 at 21:30 at the Libertadores de América, with TV coverage on ESPN Premium.
  • Central has already clinched first place, remains unbeaten in the Clausura, and is qualified for the 2026 Copa Libertadores with home advantage in early playoff rounds.
  • Holan is set to rotate heavily, with young defender Ignacio Ovando expected to start for the first time and Jaminton Campaz included in the final practice XI.
  • The result will not alter Central’s seeding, offering minutes to fringe players as Independiente closes a campaign with little at stake.
  • Holan returns to his former club’s stadium, and Central seeks to end a winless run in Avellaneda dating to 2016 after four straight scoreless visits.
