My Prediction
Argentinos Juniors by 1Seeing this thrilling confrontation between Belgrano and Argentinos Juniors coming up is a wonderful assurance that it’s a fine day to watch some football, even if the humidity in the air reminds me of my Aunt Beryl’s hairdo.
Argentinos Juniors have been a tough nut to crack this season, relying heavily on their goalkeeper, Diego Rodríguez, whose saves tally has been robust at 9. Belgrano, though, have two guns in the chamber with Manuel Vicentini and Juan Espinola. Vicentini has shown a good hand between the sticks saving 10 goals. Though Espinola's stats seem like he’s been functioning as a lawn ornament, let's keep in mind even the best was once a beginner.
Leandro Lozano has been quite the spectacle for Argentinos Juniors thus far, showing off his balletic precision with an accurate pass percentage of 84.3%, it's like Swan Lake on a football field. Another one to watch is Tomas Molina; this lad has popped in 3 goals, and his pass accuracy isn't shabby either at 73.1%. Each team is graced with a plethora of other players, of course, but we're not here to read War and Peace, are we?
Belgrano's Nicolás Fernández alone has been to his opponents' goal like moths to a flame, and with 5 shots on goal, he's certainly not just any moth. Lucas Zelarayán's pass accuracy of 79.2% makes you wonder if he's got some sort of telepathic connection with the ball.
We all remember the last time these two dogs had a bone to pick. Belgrano walked away taller, beating Argentinos Juniors 1-0. This left Argentinos Juniors with wet feathers in the hen house, so I can only imagine they might be hungry for revenge this time around.
A glance at the recent results for both teams, Argentinos Juniors being the more consistent party, can feel like staring down a prairie dog hole. You never know what's coming next.
Lastly, we ought to take a peek at the regular season records. For Argentinos Juniors it's been a walk in the park with 8 wins, 5 draws, and 1 loss, seemingly weaving through the opposition like a two-winged dragonfly. Belgrano, on the other hand, showing a streak that's somewhat uneven with 3 wins, 6 draws, and 5 losses, possesses a sort of a charm. Why, you ask? It’s like betting on a three-legged racehorse. Few people do it. But when it wins, it's a sight to see.
Drumroll please! Based on the inconsequential fact that I once dreamt I could fly, my crystal ball, and the numerous insignificant details we just discussed, I shall, with all my gravitas, make my prediction.
