My Prediction
Tigre by 1Ahhh, the robust sport of football, the drama, the suspense, the... mathematics? We're looking at a tangy little matchup here, my friends. The almighty Tigre, favored not just by the numbers, but also by the people - charm does appeal to the masses, after all.
On the side of the Newell's Old Boys, we have Keylor Navas, a dab hand between the sticks with an applaudable 8 saves and a pretty score of 7.50. However, never dismiss the underdogs, or in this case, the under-cats. Tigre ain't lagging too far behind with young Felipe Zenobio. He's also racked up 8 saves, albeit with a 6.90 rating.
Speaking of players, the Old Boys have a formidable line-up. Take your hats off for the likes of Éver Banega, Luciano Lollo, and the two-goal champ, Luciano Herrera. But not too quickly my soccer savants, Tigre's got some spice in their lineup too. With Nehuén Paz and Alfio Oviedo leading the pack with a goal each, and a particularly pass-accurate lad, Santiago González - they've got their heels dug deep in the turf.
Historically however, the Old Boys seem to have had the edge during their recent duel on a cozy Saturday on September 21, 2024. Is that payback I smell in the air?
Regular season records indicate a more majestic stride from the Tigres, boasting an enviable eight wins in comparison to Newell's three. Recent performances do chatter a similar tale, particularly with the Tigres taking down some worthy opponents.
Now, don't take my word as gospel (though I'm usually right, just ask my ex-wife), but taking all these factors into account, the scales seem to marginally tilt in one direction. Brace yourselves, we might just be in for a catfight with a clear winner.
