My Prediction
Rosario Central by 1Ah, yes. A titanic tussle on the tango turf – or so it's been scripted. A face-off between Talleres and Rosario Central. Assistant coaches, please step aside, we're only here for the players.
Rosario Central is armed to the teeth with the likes of shot-stopper Jorge Broun, who's made quite a reputation for himself with a 7.28 rating and 14 saves. Let’s not forget the agile Axel Werner with his 7.20 rating and 2 saves, apparently, it's not just the quantity but also the quality with this guy.
Now, their foot soldiers are none to sneeze at. Carlos Quintana, with a straight face and a deadly pass accuracy of 83.0%, and Enzo Giménez with a 79.3% accurate pass rate. Dare I overlook Ignacio Malcorra? One goal and 1 shot on goal, this guy brings his A-game on and off the field with a rating of 7.35.
Over to Talleres, who take pride in their man between the sticks, the venerable Guido Herrera pulling in a decent 7.12 rating and nine on-the-nose saves. Their polished players include Juan Portillo with his 85.5% accurate pass rate and Gastón Benavídez, who's spiked two goals with a 7.30 rating. Miguel Navarro wraps up the top three with a 86.2% accurate pass rate - considering switching careers to dart throwing with that kind of accuracy.
Their previous meet-up on an idyllic Sunday Sep 15, 2024, ended in a deadlock, a 2-2 draw. A riveting match but with no satisfaction of an outright win for fans and, ahem, bettors alike.
Looking at their regular season records, it's like watching a boxing match - Rosario Central flaunting a strong 5-2-1, and Talleres coming in a bit wobbly with a 1-2-4. I'd say Rosario's had a good run with most recent tango with Boca Juniors, Newell's Old Boys, and Atlético Tucumán. While Talleres has had a bit of a stumble with Tigre, Atlético Tucumán, and Lanús. A bit of a tango, waltz, and foxtrot all mixed together, if you ask me!
Just remember, folks, my predictions are about as bankable as a weatherman's, but here goes...
