My Prediction
Atlético Tucumán by 1Ah, Atlético Tucumán and Lanús – it's almost as if someone decided between a rock and a hard place and decided to glue them together for a real fun fest of a match, isn't it?
In case you're puzzled, let's talk goalies. Nahuel Losada of Lanús has saved his team more than once with an impressive 13 saves and a well-deserved rating of 7.38. For Atlético Tucumán, well, even Juan Ignacio González and his rating of 7.05 couldn't swallow a shot that never came his way. My apologies, Juan – back to your Solitaire game.
Now collecting soccer cards? Let's throw a few names at you. For Lanús, Carlos Izquierdoz and his hawk-eye precision bring an 80.4% accurate pass rate to the table, whilst Ezequiel Muñoz jaw-dropping pass accuracy of 84.7%. Then there's Marcelino Moreno, who seems to be allergic to missing the goal, considering his general performances.
Meanwhile, in Atlético Tucumán's camp, we have Matías de los Santos and Gianluca Ferrari. De los Santos is an artist with the ball – to the point it feels like he's doing a pas de deux with it at a pass accuracy of 63.6%. Ferrari mirrors his skills at 72.6%, but we can't forget Adrián Sánchez, who's impressively clocking in at 81.9%.
Peek at their closets filled with past trophies and you'll find a single, lonely "we sort-of-did-it" star on Atlético Tucumán's from a surprising 1-0 bop over Lanús back in October 2024. Almost brings a tear to your eye, doesn't it?
Their seasonal play stats look like an odd fellows convention. Lanús' 4 wins, 8 draws, and 3 losses looks to have gotten lost on a conquest for mild glory, whilst Atlético Tucumán with their 4 wins, 1 draw, and a saggy 10 losses makes one wonder if they're playing FIFA on beginner mode.
Recently, Lanús seems to be the master at holding the fort with a few draws against notable opponents, whereas Atlético Tucumán had some decisive wins peppered with disappointing losses.
So, where does my dart land in this match-up? Let's shake the magic eight ball.
