Diving into the deep end, we're looking at an interesting lineup with Central Córdoba vs Deportivo Riestra. Now let’s check some numbers and players, shall we?
On the Riestra side, Ignacio Arce is the one between the sticks, with a rating of 7.65 and 17 saves. He is supported by noteworthy names like Nicolás Sansotre and Jonathan Herrera, with the latter being the striker who netted 2 this month. Now that’s something to look forward for Riestra.
Shifting the focus to Central Córdoba, Alan Aguerre is guarding the nets with a 6.85 rating, also boasting 17 saves. José Florentín and Ivan Gómez are the ones creating sparks on the field with their performances over the past month. Florentín netted 3 goals and together, they've been delivering accurate passes left, right, and center. High-fives all around for them.
Now, the past can be haunting, and for Central Córdoba, it’s indeed a nightmare as Deportivo Riestra stole the show with a 1-0 victory in their previous meetup in August 2024. Moreover, Riestra’s regular season showcases a 2-4-1 record compared to Central Córdoba's 4-1-2. Take note of this, history buffs.
Looking at the recent results, Riestra’s got a mixed bag with a couple of goalless draws but a thundering 3-0 win against Atlético Tucumán. On the other side, Central Córdoba scored an impressive 4-0 win against Belgrano, although they suffered a 3-2 defeat from Estudiantes de La Plata.
After scanning through all the stats, checking the gobbledygook from the data, I’d say Central Córdoba and Deportivo Riestra are going to see each other eye to eye in the upcoming tussle but we slightly lean towards the lads from Córdoba with a likely win. One can't deny facts and figures after all folks...I mean, esteemed listeners.
