My Prediction
Independiente by 2In today's matchup, we have Atlético Tucumán squaring off against Independiente. Now you don't need me to tell you, but both teams have been practicing their ballet spins more than their footie skills recently, but hey, that's for another discussion.
Turning our attention to the goalkeepers, Rodrigo Rey for Independiente has managed to pull in an impressive 8 saves with a 7.30 rating. On the other side, Tucumán has split responsibilities between Juan Ignacio González and Tomás Durso. Both have shown some competency, with González putting on a decent show with a 7.00 rating and 7 saves.
Now, if we peak into the lineup for Independiente, Gabriel Ávalos, Álvaro Angulo, and Felipe Loyola have all managed to do a little bit more than just show up. With 3 goals under his belt and 71.4 accurate pass percentage, Ávalos particularly grabs the eye, while Loyola has also chipped in with a couple of goals and a stellar 79.4 accurate pass percentage.
For Atlético Tucumán, Adrián Sánchez, Carlos Auzqui, and Mateo Coronel are a few names to keep an eye on. Despite the lack of goals from the trio, there's something to be said for their behemoth accurate pass percentage, with Sanchez leading with a 78.3.
Looking at previous encounters, it was a mixed bag with Independiente besting their adversary once and Tucumán also tasting victory. However, overall, Independiente has enjoyed a more favorable season with a win-draw-loss record of 8-4-1, while Tucumán hasn't handled business as well, reflecting at 3-1-9.
Bringing in the recent form of both sides, we see Independiente striding with confidence after coming out on top in 3 of their last 5 matches. Atlético Tucumán, on the other hand, doesn’t quite seem to have their ducks in a row with only a sole victory in their last 5.
This financial advisor won't give you specific numbers, but he sees those scales tipping heavily towards Independiente. After all, this isn't ballet. It's football.
