BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (Interstat) — A surging Rosario Central will look to extend its unbeaten streak when it visits struggling Instituto AC Cordoba in a Primera Nacional match on Friday, Oct. 31, 2025.

Rosario Central (9-1-6) enters the fixture in strong form, having won four consecutive league matches, including a 1-0 victory over Sarmiento on Oct. 24. The club’s recent success has been built on a stout defense, which has recorded three clean sheets during the winning run. Key attackers in the latest win included Santiago Rodríguez, Joaquín Ardaiz and Jhon Rentería.

In stark contrast, Instituto (4-5-4) is coming off a 1-0 loss to Dep Riestra on Oct. 20. The home side has managed just one win in its last five league outings and has struggled to score, being shut out in three of those matches.

The statistical projection service Interstat forecasts a 1-1 draw for the Halloween fixture. The teams last met in a competitive fixture in the 2023 Copa de la Liga Profesional, with Rosario Central securing a 2-0 victory.
