Following on from a losing effort in their last game against Belgrano in Torneo Apertura action, Unión de Santa Fe and their fans will hope to get a better result this time.

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.
