Union vs Tigre
Union Santa Fe are going through a deep crisis at the moment. Last Tuesday, the team showed a terrible version and succumbed to a 5-1 away defeat at Argentinos Juniors under interim coach Marcelo Mosset. El Tatengue remain bottom in the Liga Profesional table, having accumulated only seven points after failing to win in their last five league games (one draw and four losses). Furthermore, Union lost their last two home matches to Racing Club and Belgrano. New coach Sebastian Mendez will make his debut on Sunday.
Tigre claimed three valuable points last Thursday by beating Sarmiento 1-0 at home in an uneventful match, thanks to a strike from Blas Armoa in the first half. As a result, El Matador made it three league games unbeaten (two victories and one draw) to accumulate 15 points in 11 matches in league action, climbing into 15th place in the context of an irregular Liga Profesional campaign. In fact, Tigre are on three away matches without a win in this competition, having drawn one and lost two since beating Belgrano 2-0 in February.
Union touched bottom midwek with their 1-5 defeat and can’t lose forever, their new coach should give them some tactical order and Tigre has been nothing special so far this season so I’ll go with the hosts to catch a break and avoid a defeat.
