Union vs Colon
Union Santa Fe come to the city derby after succumbing to a heavy blow in their fight for a continental ticket last time out, when they were beaten by CA Central Cordoba 2-0 away. That defeat stopped their two-game winning streak and also displaced them from the Copa Sudamericana spots in the aggregate table, having accumulated 31 points in this tournament and now trailing the last qualifying berth by goal difference. They will need to leapfrog only one among Racing Club and Rosario Central to secure their ticket (all level in points, plus Gimnasia LP).
Colon have been clearly one of the best teams in the league this season. They showed their skills in round 24, when the team claimed an easy 3-0 home success over Atletico Tucuman. El Sabalero, who lifted the title in the first semester of the year, have grabbed ten points from the last 15 available as a product of three wins, one draw and a single defeat. The team accumulated 39 points in this tournament and are now fourth-placed in the 2021 aggregate table.
Union must win, Colon will try to ruin their all time rival hopes, so I expect an open game here where a draw is pretty much useless.
