Player to watch: Enrique Bologna

In his last three appearances for Defensa y Justicia, Enrique Bologna put in some stellar performances, making several saves, including a penalty, while conceding only twice. However, the hosts did not score a single goal in that three-game stretch, so they earned only one point from a possible nine.
If Defensa y Justicia’s struggles in front of goal continue on Monday night, Bologna will have to be at his best to keep Rosario Central at bay.
