Friday’s first game of the season is 24 hours away and so the splendid Jimmy Lee returns to rundown his predictions for the season ahead…
As the new Superliga season kicks off this weekend the main question fans will be asking themselves is if their club has any hope to taking down the defending champions or if the Xeneizes will reign again? No team has won back to back to back titles since River Plate did it in 2006 – 2007 (these titles were won back in the Apertura / Clasura short season format), but Bosteros believe their club is the favorite to repeat the feat achieved most recently by their arch-rivals.
While there may only be a handful of teams that could actually win the title, a successful season for some fan bases will not be dependent on holding the Superliga trophy in April. Some teams are hoping to qualify for international cup competitions. Others (including my own) will feel the season was successful if they remain in the top flight and avoid relegation. While other clubs will be satisfied if they can just win their local Clásico match.
The Superliga is back, and I can’t wait. Now it’s time for me to look like a moron as I do my best to predict some of the outcomes for the 2018/19 season.
