Union Santa Fe continues producing an irregular performance this season. In round 16, they drew 0-0 at Talleres in a boring game. That means El Tatengue is in 17th spot on 20 points, having claimed a single victory in their last six matches (three draws and two defeats). At home, they collected 11 points from 21 on offer following three wins, two draws and two losses.
Argentinos Juniors had to settle for a hard-fought 1-1 draw against Estudiantes at home, but that point allowed them to stay as league leaders on 30 points alongside River Plate. However, the team managed only one success in their last five league games, drawing three and losing one. On away turf, they earned two points from the last nine available. Argentinos Juniors hired three reinforcements, with Tomas Andrade (from Brazil’s Athletico Paranaense) as the most relevant one.
Even if the leaders Argentinos are not an overish team, I think that with 7 rounds left and knowing that River and Boca are right beside them should make them take more risks as any draws could end up being useless for them. Union is sitting in the lower part of the table and only wins could be useful for them to reach a Copa Sudamericana place, so I expect at least a couple of goals in an open game.
