There really is nothing like a good old fashioned wager on a Liga Profesional showdown. Now, let's get right to the heart of the matter. This wheeze-worthy match features Lanús taking on San Martín de San Juan.
Tossing an eyeball over at the goal-keeping side, we have Matías Borgogno for San Martin with a 7.18 rating, not too shabby, but aren't we just bedazzled by Lanús' glove-man, Nahuel Losada, boasting a 7.30 rating. Those decimal points make all the difference in the beautiful game, don't they?
Now, we've got to talk about the top skippers on each team. Franco Toloza seems to be the scoring bigwig for San Martin, with his 1 goal and 4 shots on goal. On the other side, we have Eduardo Salvio who boasts 2 goals and 4 shots on goal for Lanús. Interesting to see who'll make the twine bulge today.
Taking a gander at the regular season record, San Martín has a woeful record of 2 wins, 3 draws, and a whopping 9 losses. Makes one wonder what's in their water. Lanús has a slightly better record of 3 wins, 8 draws, and 3 losses. One can almost start sympathizing with all those bar stool analysts.
Not to beat a dead horse, but let's take a looksee at the recent results. San Martín clearly hasn't rehearsed their victory song much with their win against Godoy Cruz being the only bright speck on an otherwise dreary month. Conversely, Lanús seems to be in a passionate tango with the draw. Hopefully, one of these teams will let the mothballs out of their net today.
Gritting my teeth and after an extensive roll of the dice, I am ready to pull the trigger on my prediction folks.
