My Prediction
Independiente by 1Looking at this Independiente vs Sarmiento matchup, it's about as exciting as watching paint dry on a humid day. Independiente seems to be sitting pretty with a not-so-terrible 9-13-5 regular season record, while Sarmiento is just hobbling along with a less than stellar 5-11-11 record. It's like comparing a luxury speedboat to a one-paddled kayak.
Now, if we go back and take a peek into the history books, you'll find our last epic battle - if we were to use the term 'epic' very loosely - between these teams ended in a thrilling 0-0 draw. Adrenaline pumping stuff, I tell you.
Independiente has somehow managed to pull together a couple of recent victories, which might be an indicator of potential here. They've beaten Atlético Tucumán and Central Córdoba in recent games, much like a semi-decent magician pulling rabbits from a hat. Sarmiento, on the other hand, has been paddling in circles recently, with mostly draws and losses in their recent games.
My prediction? Well, while I doubt we're in line for a spectacle, I'm leaning towards Independiente. They're like that guy who shows up at the gym - they're not exactly Mr. Universe, but at least they're putting in more effort than the guy eating a hotdog on the treadmill.
