Union vs Argentinos Jrs
Union Santa Fe have a lot of work ahead to find their best form. In matchday 3, the team were outplayed and deservedly lost 1-0 to Tigre away from home. El Tatengue are now winless in four league matches (two draws and two losses in that time) and have collected only one point so far in the 2025 Torneo Apertura. However, Cristian Gonzalez’s men have been strong at home, losing just one of their last five matches at Estadio 15 de Abril, with three wins and one draw. Thiago Cardozo is suspended for Friday after seeing a red card at Tigre. Matias Tagliamonte, Julian Palacios and Marcelo Estigarribia would start instead of Cardozo, Nicolas Paz and Lucas Gamba.
Argentinos Juniors thrilled their fans last Monday by securing a dramatic 1-0 home victory over Platense in a fiercely contested derby, with Erik Godoy scoring in the 92nd minute. With this win, Nicolas Diez’s side reached seven points in the Torneo Apertura, positioning themselves as one of the leaders in Group A alongside Independiente Rivadavia and Estudiantes. El Bicho are now unbeaten in five league matches (three wins and two draws). However, their away form remains a major concern, as they haven’t won on the road in 15 games—recording four draws and 11 defeats—since a 2-1 victory over Instituto in March.
Union’s starting lineup looks more offensive with striker Marcelo Estigarribia making his 1st start for the club. They’ve been really poor so far this season and coach Kily Gonzalez could leave soon so it looks like he will take more risks, making this short totals line worth a bet.
