My Prediction
Vélez Sarsfield by 1Alright, let's dive into this thrilling clash featuring Vélez Sarsfield squaring off against Deportivo Riestra.
In net, we've got Deportivo Riestra's Issac Arce, a man with an 8.10 rating and 14 saves to his name. Opposite him, you'll see Vélez Sarsfield's Tomás Marchiori, who comes in with a 7.10 rating and 9 saves. A classic duel of the lanky guardians of the goal.
Now, let's talk key players. For Deportivo Riestra, we've got an intriguing trio: Juan Cruz Randazzo owning a 7.50 rating without any you-know-whats, I mean goals, Cristian Paz at a 7.10 rating, again minus shots on target, and Nicolás Sansotre at 7.07, shockingly, also goalless.
On the flip side, for Vélez Sarsfield, our standouts include Álvaro Montoro, blessed with a 7.20 rating, fallen from the heavens without a goal or shot on goal, closely followed by Jano Gordon at 7.17, sans goals as well. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree with Agustín Bouzat, sitting comfortably at a 7.15 rating, having taken a single shot on goal, but alas, no goals to show for it.
When it comes to historical matchups, these teams were neck-and-neck with Deportivo Riestra 1 and Vélez Sarsfield 1 back in November of the illustrious year of 2024.
Deportivo Riestra's recent track record looks about as dry as my Aunt Bertha's turkey; they've been drawing matches like a bored toddler with a crayon, featuring a string of 0-0 results sprinkled with the occasional point here or there. On the other hand, Vélez Sarsfield’s recent games have certainly had more flavor, with some wins marinated with defeats.
Now, to my prediction, keep in mind that I'm about as reliable as a chocolate teapot, but for what it's worth here goes:
