The difference-makers

Gimnasia. Agustin Auzmendi concentrates the offensive production of Gimnasia, leaving the team heavily reliant on his conversion rate given the low output from the remaining squad members.

Sarmiento. While Junior Marabel leads the visitor scoring charts, the reliance on his production leaves the offense vulnerable if the home defense neutralizes his initial impact.
