Atletico Tucuman vs Union
Atletico Tucuman fans will have felt very worried after a terrible performance last Sunday, when the team registered a surprising 4-1 away defeat at Sarmiento. El Decano suffered their second loss across the last three league matches, along with a single win, and they continue producing a poor campaign: Lucas Pusineri’s men accumulated 21 points in as many matches in the Liga Profesional, only three above the relegation line in the aggregate rankings. On a positive note, Atletico are on two consecutive wins at Estadio Jose Fierro, having beaten Sarandi Arsenal and Godoy Cruz.
Union Santa Fe continue to improve match after match. Last time out, the team showed one of their best performances this term, claiming an easy 3-0 home success over Independiente. In the context of a rough year, El Tatengue are now on six league games unbeaten, with four victories and two draws, which allows them to accumulate 23 points, five above the relegation spot in the aggregate table. On away turf, Union Santa Fe are on four matches without defeat, having won two and drawn two. However, coach Sebastian Mendez left the club last Sunday to join Velez Sarsfield. New coach Cristian Gonzalez will make his debut at the club on Friday.
I have to go here with the very in-form Union who just had an unexpected coach change but they should still be the solid team they’ve been lately.
