My Prediction
River Plate by 1I see a showdown brewing on the pitch with River Plate squaring off against San Lorenzo. In these case, it's not all about the kick and run, let's bring out the calculators and discuss numbers.
Reviewing the goalkeepers is quite insightful, isn't it? For San Lorenzo we have Orlando Gill tending the net with a nice 6.40 rating and 3 saves in recent times. On the other side, looking at River Plate - we've got Franco Armani with a shiny 7.35 rating and 6 saves. Armani's doing one better at each turn.
Top players for San Lorenzo now: Ezequiel Cerutti and Matias Reali come to mind immediately. Cerutti with a 7.35 rating, didn't score any goals recently but had 2 shots on goal showcasing a hungry spirit. Meanwhile, Reali carries a 7.05 rating and boasts a flawless accurate pass percentage.
Shifting our gaze to River Plate, we'll find even brighter stars. Two lads, Facundo Colidio and Santiago Lencina have caught my eye. Colidio has a powerful 8.00 rating with 2 goals and 4 shots on goal lately. Lencina isn't far behind with his own strong 7.85 rating and 2 goals to his name as well.
The past encounters of these teams have been a bit of a yawn fest with a 0-0 draw in February and a 1-1 tie in December. However, taken into consideration the regular season records, River Plate does have a slight edge with a record of 8-7-1 compared to San Lorenzo's 7-6-3.
Recent performances show a forward momentum for River Plate, with a string of victories and high scoring games. San Lorenzo's form has had a bit more variety with a couple of wins, a few draws and a loss.
So, after all the fuss and feathers have settled down, I'd have to say that River Plate seems to hold the stronger hand here. But don't take my word for it, just remember, the ball is round and it has a funny way of going in whichever direction it chooses!
