My Prediction
Platense by 1Analysing the skirmish between Platense and Gimnasia y Esgrima we've got quite the pitching duel between the custodians: Juan Cozzani for Platense with a 7.16 rating and 13 saves and Marcos Ledesma for Gimnasia y Esgrima with a 7.15 rating and 12 saves. You might as well just flip a coin on that one!
As for Gimnasia y Esgrima's roster, standouts such as Leonardo Morales with a 7.30 rating, and Juan Pintado and Enzo Martínez both with over a 7.0 rating despite their goal droughts are bringing their athletic prowess into the fray. Leandro Mamut's been the go-to guy, punching one into the back of the net.
On Platense’s side, look out for Sasha Marcich with a 7.24 rating and Leonel Picco with a 7.20 rating combined with their pristine passing accuracy. Now, Mateo Pellegrino, despite his questionable passing accuracy, has managed to find the back of the net, so you just could say that the man occasionally dares to defy the odds.
The historical drama between these two teams is palpable. Last time they met on a balmy Sunday afternoon in July, the match ended in a tense draw. What a thriller that was.
Assessing the recent performances, Gimnasia y Esgrima is having quite the roller coaster ride with a form guide looking like my heart monitor during the last World Cup final, while Platense seems to be maintaining a somewhat steadier pace in their outings.
