Unión de Santa Fe

Unión de Santa Fe will come into the game following a 2-0 Superliga win to defeat Estudiantes de La Plata in their previous outing.

In that game, Unión de Santa Fe had 49% possession and 13 shots at goal with 8 of them on target. For Unión de Santa Fe, the goalscorers were Oscar Piris (52') and Imanol Machuca (70'). On the other side, Estudiantes got 16 shots on goal with 5 on target.

The attacking players from Unión de Santa Fe have failed to get amongst the goals in their past six encounters, netting the disappointing return of only 4. In those fixtures, El Tatengue have also seen the overall goal tally of opposing teams equal 5. Previous results aside, we will just have to wait and see whether such a trend might continue on in this next match.

Their past results show that Unión de Santa Fe:

• remain undefeated by Rosario Central when having played them away from home in the previous 2 league games.
• are without a win away from home in their last 13 league matches. Their travelling supporters must be so depressed.
