Central Cordoba vs Union
CA Central Cordoba had to settle for a devastating 2-2 away draw at Barracas Central last Monday, when they wasted a 2-0 lead. As a result, El Ferroviario count a single victory across their last six games in this competition, along with two stalemates and three defeats in that stretch. That run means they accumulate 19 points in the Liga Profesional, a decent campaign that places them four points above the first relegation spot in the point-average table, occupied by Platense.
Union Santa Fe seem unable to overcome their crisis. Last Monday, the team played a terrible match and suffered a heavy blow at home, losing 2-0 to Sarmiento. Coach Sebastian Mendez’s arrival has not yet resulted in an improvement for El Tatengue, who made it nine league matches without a win (drawing three and losing six). As a result, they remain bottom in the Liga Profesional table on nine points (with one game in hand), trailing Atletico Tucuman by five (considering that Sarandi Arsenal, who occupy the penultimate spot, is currently losing their top-flight status via the point-average table). To make matters worse, Union are on 18 away games without a win in domestic action, with nine draws and nine losses in that time.
Central Cordoba are not the most reliable team now but Union has been just awful this season and their away record is more than terrible so I’ll go with the hosts here.
