Platense
LWLDLW

Unión de Santa Fe
LLDDWL
Since being beaten in their last game against Belgrano in Torneo Apertura competition, Unión de Santa Fe and their fans will hope to get a better result this time.
In that game, Unión de Santa Fe managed 46% possession and 12 attempts at goal with 4 on target. For their opponents, Belgrano had 17 attempts on goal with 8 of them on target. Adrián Sánchez (65') and Ramiro Hernandes (90') scored for Belgrano.
Unión de Santa Fe have had no problems opening up opposition defences in the lead-up to this encounter, scoring 8 times in their last 6 matches. Having said that, Unión de Santa Fe have been somewhat leaky at the back, having also been scored against in 6 of those same matches. We will have to see if that trend will be continued on in this game.
