Alright alright, we've got a sparkling matchup between Barracas Central and Belgrano for all you Liga Profesional aficionados out there. Starting with the netminders, Belgrano has Juan Espinola and Ignacio Chicco. Espinola's been doing all the heavy lifting with a solid rating of 7.42 and 16 saves. Chicco, while a charming chap I'm sure, is looking a bit fluffed up with a 6.80 rating and just 3 saves. On the other hand, Barracas has Marcelo Agustín Miño and Rafael Ferrario. Miño is cooking with an 8.30 rating and 11 saves, outpacing Espinola.
Switching gears to our players in the field, we've got Franco Jara, Gabriel Compagnucci, and Mariano Troilo hoisting Belgrano on their backs. Jara, always the darling, bears a 7.30 rating with 3 goals. Barracas Central fields Facundo Bruera, Nicolás Demartini, and Dardo Miloc. Bruera, with his only goal of the season, will have to push up his boot straps.
Looking at regular season records, Belgrano runs in with a 7-9-6 and Barracas Central drags behind them with a 3-7-12. Belgrano's been swinging on a chandelier lately, claiming a 3-1 win on Nov 12, while Barracas got beaten up by River Plate 3-0 on Nov 10.
Synthesizing this delightful mess, I'd predict that Belgrano, being favored, will edge out Barracas Central by a thread. Now if I'm wrong, you didn't hear it from me.
