Oh, strap in dear listeners because we've got ourselves a tasty Liga Profesional clash: Lanús taking on Rosario Central. Let's start with Lanús. Their goalkeeper, Nahuel Losada, doesn't exactly save balls like a beaver building a dam, but he's managed to keep a respectable rating of 6.80 with only a single save.
Talking of standouts in Lanús, we've got Ezequiel Muñoz, Agustín Medina, and Agustín Cardozo none of whom have managed to put the ball in the net, despite the latter's blustering shot on goal. But hey, it's all about that accurate passing, right?
Rosario Central, on the other hand, has Jorge Broun in goal. Apparently both teams shop at the same goalie store because Broun also boasts a 6.80 rating, but he's doubled Losada's saves. Now, that's achievement.
Their big guns include Ángel Di María, Federico Navarro, and Tomás O'Connor. Di Maria, the only one finding the net so far. Navarro? His pass accuracy hovers near perfection as if he's got the ball on a leash. O'Connor, he's not far behind on that leash-game. The other blokes? Not a single goal between them, though some of them really like to send that ball around, eh?
Now, if you look at their previous face-offs, you might break into light perspiration. Only a year back, Rosario handed Lanús a defeat, with another draw before that. Regular season records seem to suggest that Rosario Central likes to win more than their Lanús counterparts. In addition, Rosario has been putting on a better show in their recent matches than Lanús.
So, what's the verdict here? Well, in this commentator's not-so-humble opinion:
