Belgrano played their worst match in the Copa Liga Profesional last Monday, when they were dominated from beginning to end and succumbed to an unexpected 3-0 home defeat to Tigre. El Pirata made it three winless matches in this competition (one draw and two losses), which displaced them from the Copa Sudamericana spots in the aggregate table (now trailing tenth-placed Racing Club by goal difference). However, Guillermo Farre’s men remain occupying one of the playoff spots in group B, accumulating 18 points. At home, Belgrano stopped a six-match unbeaten streak of three victories and three draws.

Union Santa Fe continue finding trouble to overcome their worrying moment of form. Last Sunday, they wasted several goalscoring chances and ended up drawing 0-0 against Lanus at home. As a result, El Tatengue made it four league matches without a win (two stalemates and two defeats). Having grabbed just 13 points in the Copa Liga Profesional group B, the side are now one point above the relegation spot in the aggregate table, occupied by Colon.

If Colon wins earlier, Union will start this game in the relegation spot and desperate for a win. Belgrano is barely hanging to a playoff spot and needs also to win to secure that place, so I expect to see an open game here as the draw might not be good enough for either of them.
