My Prediction
Deportivo Riestra by 1Let's journey into this interesting match-up between Deportivo Riestra and Godoy Cruz. You can't cook up a good game without a pair of reliable goalkeepers, and we have that here. Franco Petroli is the netminder for Godoy Cruz, boasting a 6.92 rating with eight saves in his kitty. For Deportivo Riestra, it’s Ignacio Arce, a tiny shade behind with a 6.82 rating and six saves to his name.
Turning our focus to the field, Godoy Cruz has a stable of kickers out there. The top 'leather chasers', in my humble opinion, are Federico Rasmussen, Lucas Arce, and Vicente Poggi - good players with solid stats. You might be furrowing that brow, thinking, "where are the goals?" but hey, we love the game, not just the scoreboard.
Deportivo Riestra, on the other hand, flies high with Nicolás Caro Torres, Cristian Paz, and Nicolás Sansotre making the top slots. Not a lot of goals for them either, but apparently, they fancy themselves more of 'pass around the Rosie' types.
History is on Godoy Cruz’s side as they clobbered Deportivo Riestra 4-1 last time they met. But let's not dwell too much on the past, shall we? This season's face-offs have given Godoy Cruz a record of 3 wins, 8 draws and 4 losses, and Deportivo Riestra a tad more victorious glow with 4 wins, 9 draws, and 2 losses.
In terms of recent form, Deportivo Riestra seems to be playing the 'keep it clean' strategy, drawing in its last two games. Godoy Cruz, on the other hand, seems to play game of thrones with the scoreboard, showing a varied menu of wins, losses and draws—makes one dizzy, doesn’t it?
So, dear punter, based on these reflections, the scales are tilting in favor of Deportivo Riestra. Care for some numbers on that? Sure,
