Rosario Central and Argentinos JRS meet in Matchday 10 of the Liga Profesional Argentina Clausura on Sunday, 20 September, kick-off 20:00 UTC at Estadio Gigante de Arroyito. Three points separate the two sides in the table, with Argentinos JRS sitting top and Rosario Central in fifth.

Argentinos JRS lead the 30-team Liga Profesional table with 18 points from nine matches, recording five wins, three draws and one defeat. Their goals record stands at 13 scored and eight conceded. Despite their position at the summit, they arrive on the back of two consecutive draws, taking six points from their last five matches.

Rosario Central sit in fifth place with 15 points, having won four, drawn three and lost two of their opening nine fixtures. They have scored ten goals and conceded eight. Central have taken eight points from their last five matches, a run that includes wins over Tigre and Barracas Central alongside two draws and a defeat to Gimnasia L.P.

The head-to-head meeting earlier in 2026 ended goalless — Argentinos JRS 0-0 Rosario Central on 11 March — offering little separation between the sides on that occasion. Rosario Central are in the top third of the table, while Argentinos JRS are in the top two.

With 18 points against Rosario Central's 15, and both clubs having played nine matches apiece, Sunday's fixture carries clear weight in the Clausura standings at this stage of the competition.
