Union – Boca
Union Santa Fe are going through a promising form. On Saturday, the team reversed the score to beat Sarmiento 2-1 away thanks to goals from Lucas Gamba and Adrian Balboa. As a result, El Tatengue extended their unbeaten streak to four league matches (two victories and two draws) and made it 12 points in group B, trailing fourth-placed Racing Club by two points. At home, Union managed only four points in as many matches this term as a product of one victory, one stalemate and two losses. Left wingback Mateo Del Blanco succumbed to a fibula problem last time out and won’t feature on Wednesday. Captain Claudio Corvalan has served his one-match suspension and is available.
Boca Juniors played one of their best matches under coach Diego Martinez last Sunday, when they managed to secure a necessary 3-2 home success over Belgrano. Following that victory, El Xeneize climbed into fifth spot of the group B table after accumulating 13 points in the Copa Liga Profesional, trailing fourth-placed Racing Club by one. In fact, El Xeneize succumbed to a single defeat across their last 12 league games, along with five wins and six draws.
Edinson Cavani finally appeared for Boca last Sunday when he scored a hat trick in the 2nd half of a good win vs Belgrano, but it has to be considered that they also conceded 2 showing very poor defensive skills. Union is a tough team, they’ve scored 6 goals in the last 2 games but also conceded once in both, so I’ll go here for the OVER as they both need a win to climb into the playoffs zone.
