In a fierce A-League match, Patronato will face Rosario Central at their home ground. A-League teams have always been known for their solid tactics, and Patronato is no exception. Their recent style of play has been conservative, with three of their last five matches resulting in shutouts, especially in the first half. Eight of their last nine matches have resulted in half-time draws, so a half-time draw is something to look forward to in this match. (Official kickoff Wednesday at 5 a.m.)
Currently, Patronato is in the middle of the league, with 7 wins, 6 draws and 6 losses in 19 matches. At home, their performance is more stable, with four wins and two draws in their last six home matches, of which they have not conceded a goal in the last three home matches, so their defensive strength should not be underestimated. However, their performance in the attacking end is relatively limited, striker Jonathan Boot Lira has only scored three goals this season, and two of the last three home games ended 0-0, so there is a certain risk of chasing the home team to win.
Meanwhile, Rosario Central's offense lacked firepower.
