Alright, let's chop through this upcoming pitch between San Lorenzo and Gimnasia y Esgrima. You're talking about a game featuring two goalkeepers – Orlando Gill for San Lorenzo and Nelson Insfrán for Gimnasia y Esgrima. Now it's maybe not best to pin our hopes on Gill, considering Insfrán's slightly better saves and rating this season - it's like comparing a box of chocolates to a box of raisins, you know which one you'd rather pick.
Over at Gimnasia y Esgrima, we're peeking at top players Pedro Silva, Facundo Di Biasi, and Renzo Giampaoli. No goals scored recently but their passing accuracy should cause San Lorenzo to break out in hives - they're sharp as needles.
Now, leaping over to San Lorenzo, our eyes are on Alexis Cuello, Ezequiel Cerutti, and Nicolás Tripichio. Cuello's goal and shot on goal seem to have been just enough to break the "I forgot what scoring feels like" ice, but their passing accuracy is about as reliable as a chocolate teapot.
Past matchups between these two are a little one-sided with San Lorenzo bagging couple of wins; let's just say Gimnasia y Esgrima probably doesn't like seeing San Lorenzo in their nightmares.
Gimnasia y Esgrima's regular season record is like seeing a weightlifting competition where no one can lift the weights - it’s just not that impressive. On the contrary, San Lorenzo is maintaining a more balanced win-draw-loss record - they're not exactly superstars, but hey, they're not sinking either.
Picking up recent results, Gimnasia y Esgrima had a series of 'Miss' rather than 'Hit' music. On the San Lorenzo side, they seem to be having a somewhat rock n roll time lately; they’re not quite Metallica, but they're not One Direction either.
With all this being said and done, we now move on to that moment when yours truly, Albert, unfolds the magic prediction.
