Union Santa Fe vs Aldosivi

Union Santa Fe clinched the first continental ticket in the club’s history in May, ending the league campaign in the tenth and qualifying for the Copa Sudamericana 2019. They need to keep those standards to stay away any from relegation threats. El Tatengue suffered a single defeat in their last five league matches and they also are the only team who stayed unbeaten at home during the whole last season, with seven victories and six draws. Aldosivi needed just one year in B Nacional to return to the Superliga after beating Almagro 3-1 in the championship decider as the teams were level at the end of the regular season.

During July, they lost on penalties to relegated side Olimpo in the Copa Argentina’s first round. Aldosivi claimed five victories and a draw in their last six league matches, but they lost two of the last three on away turf, only beating Gimnasia Jujuy in April. There has been plenty of transfer activity at Aldosivi after the team returned to the top flight. The club has added 21 new players and has lost some important ones in the meantime.

Union Santa Fe is very strong at home, Aldosivi will need some time to adapt to such a huge rebuild, so I think the hosts should claim three points in the season opener.

BET: Union -0.75 @ 2.0
