Sarmiento vs Union
Sarmiento played their worst game this season and succumbed to a 2-0 away defeat at Platense, which means the team remain on four points in three rounds in the Copa Liga Profesional, but most importantly, the side continue edging closer the relegation zone, occupying now the 26th place in the points average table. They won only one of the last ten league matches, along with two draws and seven defeats. At home, Sarmiento registered one victory, two stalemates and two losses across their last two games. Coach Israel Damonte will be without Lisandro Lopez on Sunday due to a muscle problem.
Union Santa Fe continue improving game after game. Last Tuesday, the team managed a highly-celebrated 1-0 home success over Atletico Tucuman thanks to a goal from Jonathan Alvez in the second half. Therefore, Gustavo Munua’s men made it seven points from nine on offer in the Copa Liga Profesional to become one of the group A leaders. In fact, El Tatengue won five of their last seven league games, drawing one and losing one in that spell.
Union has been really solid so far this season and I like their chances of climbing to the top of the group with a win.
