Union vs Central Cordoba

Union Santa Fe produced a worthy performance last time out, but they couldn’t avoid a 2-1 away defeat to Defensa y Justicia in a hard-fought match. That result prevented them from climbing into the playoff zone in group B (El Tatengue remain on 15 points, trailing fourth-placed Newell’s Old Boys by two) and put an end to their five-match unbeaten streak of three victories and two stalemates. At home, Union managed seven points from the last nine on offer since losing to Estudiantes 1-0 in round two.

CA Central Cordoba are showing an improved version lately. On Tuesday, the team registered a 2-2 home stalemate against Belgrano in an entertaining match and were close to winning it. However, El Ferroviario claimed a single victory across their last six in league action, along with three stalemates and two losses, which means they remain threatened by relegation (accumulating just nine points this term, four above the bottom spot of the aggregate table). Central won 1-0 at Lanus in their last away match to break a eight match winless streak of four draws and four defeats on the road.

If Union wins they will jump into the playoffs zone of Group A with only 3 rounds left of which two will be away from their stadium, so playing against one of the weakest teams of the group makes it a must win for them. They’ve been strong at home with 2 wins and a draw in the last 3 and this has to be one that they should win.

BET: Union -0.5 @ 1.81
