Union Santa Fe earned a valuable point on their visit to defending champions Racing Club: they put up a good fight and managed a clean sheet to make it a scoreless draw in the season opener. El Tatengue succumbed to a single defeat in their last nine matches among the league and the Superliga Cup (three wins and five draws). In addition, they lost their last home match (to relegated side Tigre 3-1 in May), but that defeat stopped a three-game unbeaten run at 15 de Abril Stadium in domestic competitions, with two victories and one draw.
After losing several important players in the transfer window, Defensa y Justicia opened up the season with a 1-0 home defeat to Independiente last weekend. That result means El Halcon is on six games without a win taking into account the league and the Superliga Cup (two draws and four defeats in that time). On away turf, they earned a single point in their last three games since beating Aldosivi 1-0 in March.
Union Sta Fe is still a solid team, as shown last week when they got a draw in their visit to the defending champions Racing, especially at their stadium while Defensa has renewed a lot and is still in work in progress, so I have to go with the hosts here.
