My Prediction
Gimnasia y Esgrima by 1Let's dive head-first into this thrilling matchup, shall we? Shining a spotlight on those standing guard between the posts, we have Ignacio Arce for Deportivo Riestra holding down the fort with a 7.88 rating and a solid 22 saves. Pretty impressive, huh? On the other sideline, Gimnasia's Nelson Insfrán is ticking along with a 7.44 rating and 16 saves - not overwhelming, but we've seen him pull a rabbit out of his gloves before.
But who's going to be putting these keepers to the test? For Riestra, we're keeping a keen eye on Jonathan Herrera, with his 7.08 rating, conjuring up 2 goals and an accurate pass rate of 74% that would make a Swiss watchmaker weep. Nicolás Sansotre also holds strong with 1 goal, while Nicolás Benegas is looking to add to his single goal tally. Variety is the spice of life, as they say.
Now hold onto your hats, folks, as we visit the Gimnasia side of the aisle. Leonardo Morales, with his 7.50 rating and single goal, is a talent you can't ignore. Accompanying him on the stage is Rodrigo Castillo. A 7.28 rating might seem unremarkable until you glance at the 3 goals he's banged in - a magnet for the back of the net, this guy.
Looking at the history books, the last dance between these two ended in a rather boring stalemate with a 0-0 scoreline. As for the regular season records, we see Deportivo Riestra at a 2-5-1 and Gimnasia at a 3-1-4. Far from stratospheric numbers, but who's judging?
Nostalgia doesn't win games, so let's glance at the recent form. Deportivo Riestra seems to have done a decent amount of target practice, with fewer goals against them. Gimnasia, meanwhile, experienced a bit of a rollercoaster with their latest results - wins, losses, draws, the whole kit and caboodle.
After all this analysis, it's a tough call, but I'm leaning towards Gimnasia. Why, you ask? Be it divine intervention or my grandma's tarot cards, it's just a hunch.
