My Prediction
Chunichi Dragons by 2Right, here we go again. It's the Hiroshima Carp visiting the Chunichi Dragons, folks. No, wait, I mean, esteemed listeners. Now, our red-hued piscine friends from Hiroshima have been a wee bit more successful this season, that's undeniable. They're one step ahead with a 34-33 record, while the Dragons aren't so hot, sitting at 32-37.
In simpler terms, the Carp can swim better than the Dragons can fly. But here's where it gets interesting...
When it comes to head-to-head, these two have been at it like a pair of squirrels fighting over an acorn. Thrills, spills, a bit of everything. The Carp came out tops in a 2-1 victory at the most recent meeting. But if we reach a little into the past, the Dragons roared back with a 3-2 triumph. On an earlier date, the Carp had a tasty 9-4 feast, leaving the Dragons looking more like lizards.
You'd think the match would sway towards the Carp given these stats but, alas, sports have a way of slapping you in the face with a wet haddock.
No clear winner, right? Wrong. We're going with the Dragons here, folks - dash it, I mean listeners again. While the Carp were busy locking horns with the Dragons, they faltered against the Golden Eagles. The Dragons, meanwhile, despite blips, scored a convincing 4-1 against the Nippon-Ham Fighters.
Need to pick a winner? Going by recent form and an unnamed factor that rhymes with 'glint,' I'd say it's the Dragons. It's always interesting to see a Dragon take on a Carp. Kind of reminds me of my sushi selections.
