My Prediction
Talleres by 2Let's take a deep dive into this clash of titans, Talleres versus Newell's Old Boys. Guido Herrera standing steadfast in goal for Talleres sports a respectable goalkeeper rating of 7.03, while Newell's Old Boys have either Josué Reinatti or Lucas Hoyos, both of whom are trailing behind Herrera in the ratings.
Newell's Old Boys boast as their shining stars, Éver Banega and Saúl Salcedo. These men have been showing up with consistent performance and impressive pass accuracy, Banega even mixing in a goal. However, Gustavo Velázquez left something to be desired in the form of shots on goal or, you know, goals themselves.
Now let's stroll over to team Talleres. We've got Gastón Benavídez, Miguel Navarro, and Juan Gabriel Rodríguez lighting the path with solid ratings. Each boasting commendable shooting and passing stats, it's hard to ignore the combined strength coming from this trio.
Speaking of trio's, has anyone tallied the number of meetings between these two in their past? Surprise, the answer is one, and it ended in a draw. I'm certain everyone remembers that fateful July day in 2023.
In terms of their regular-season records, it seems like Talleres has been doing slightly more than their fair share of winning compared to Newell's Old Boys. Their recent results also paint an optimistic picture. They've been treating their goal posts like knock-knock jokes where the punchline is heard consistently. Newell's Old Boys, on the other hand, are having a bit of a cold season, kind of like a fridge that just isn't keeping the beer cold enough, you know?
Welp... Considering all factors, like a guy pondering on an all-you-can-eat buffet line, I am going with Talleres on this one. Statistically speaking, they've got the edge ever so slightly. Kind of like that time I won the neighborhood chili cook-off, but I digress.
Albert’s Prediction: Talleres by 2.
