- Rosario Central have won seven, drawn one and lost two of their last ten games in all competitions, but have dropped their last two.

Belgrano are on a roll
There's no such thing as a sure thing in soccer, but if we were to pick a favorite to win Thursday's game between Club Atletico Belgrano and Rosario Central, we'd have to go for the hosts in this Club Atletico Belgrano vs Rosario Central preview. Ricardo Zielinski's side arrive in red-hot form, having won five straight and gone 7-1-2 across their last 10 in all competitions.
Belgrano's last three games in Liga Profesional - Apertura 2026 saw them beat Unión Santa Fe 2-0 at home, edge River Plate 3-2 away and knock out Gimnasia y Esgrima de Jujuy on penalties after a 2-2 draw in the Copa Argentina. This five-game winning streak has given the hosts a seriously strong edge going into this game, and the swagger of a side on the defence of a title, which is why the Club Atletico Belgrano vs Rosario Central prediction leans toward the home side.
Central have been in good form themselves, losing just two of their last 10 in all competitions, but their recent results have been mixed. They lost 1-0 away to Independiente Del Valle in the group stages of the Copa Libertadores before a 3-0 loss away to Estudiantes de la Plata in the last round of Copa Argentina.
A tight matchup between two well-drilled teams
This is a pretty evenly matched matchup, as the head-to-head record suggests. Across the three meetings between these two teams in all competitions, each side has one win and there is one draw, but the edge in form and the head-to-head advantage of a 2-1 away win in Liga Profesional - Apertura 2026 is just enough to push us towards Belgrano, and the Club Atletico Belgrano vs Rosario Central prediction remains narrow.
Central will look to play with a bit more width, tempo and energy to their game than Belgrano, but their back-to-back away defeats have put a dent in Jorge Almirón's away setup. We expect a tight and scrappy game on Thursday, with Belgrano's structure and home form giving them the best chance to nick it.
Belgrano's home form and the odds on the game make this a close call, with Belgrano at 2.62, Central at 3.0 and the draw at 2.82. Under 2.5 goals at 1.38 suits the tactical script, while both teams to score - No at 1.55 also looks good, and our Club Atletico Belgrano vs Rosario Central betting tips point to a low-scoring affair.
