My Prediction
Rosario Central by 2It's always a pleasure when we come across matches like Rosario Central versus Vélez Sarsfield. Let's dig through some data, shall we?
To start with, we've got two notable goalkeepers. Jorge Broun from Rosario Central has been quite the barrier with a rating of 7.23 and 13 saves. His counterpart from Vélez Sarsfield is Tomás Marchiori, standing pretty at a 7.05 rating with 11 saves. Not too shabby, but definitely room for a few balls to get past him. We could see some action there.
Scanning the list of the top players, Rosario Central’s poacher, Sebastián Ferreira has scored 2 goals from just 2 shots on goal, making him an absolute man to keep your eyeballs on. Ignacio Malcorra further adds strength to their attack, scoring once from a single shot on target. On the other hand, Vélez’s attacking duo of Braian Romero and Maher Carrizo added some sting in their offense, scoring two and one goals, respectively.
Looking at the history books, or my well-worn stat sheets, in the last outing between the two, Rosario Central sent Vélez Sarsfield packing with a resounding 3-0 win.
Checking on present form, Rosario Central presents a regular season record of 6-4-1, a near perfect painting of domination. Vélez Sarsfield, on the other hand, seem to have been playing hot potato with their luck, ending up with a desperate 2-2-7. That’s the football equivalent of "My dog ate my homework".
Onto their most recent outings. Vélez Sarsfield's been dancing on quicksand as of late - they've lost to Deportivo Riestra and Huracán, and pulled off a gut-wrenching draw against Lanús. Rosario Central, in a shocking twist of events, has actually been doing rather brilliantly. Apart from a narrow loss to Boca Juniors and the expected intense draw with River Plate, they've celebrated victories against Gimnasia y Esgrima and Sarmiento.
Still with me? Good, because after looking at the goalie performances, key players, past encounters, and current form, gather close, here comes the fortune cookie moment…
