Unionwho hasn’t won in five dates and needs points to qualify for the Copa Sudamericana 2023, receives Sarmiento by Juninwho moved away from the relegation zone, in a match for the 18th date of the Professional Football League (LPF).
The match will be played from 20:30 at the 15 de Abril Stadium, in the capital Santa Fe, with Andrés Gariano arbitration and ESPN Premium television.
Unión, led by Uruguayan Gustavo Munúa and with a match pending against Talleres de Córdoba, has 23 units and in the annual ranking is four points from the qualifying zone for the next Copa Sudamericana.
However, the “tatengue” is going through a five-date streak without a win (three defeats and two draws) with five games without scoring, for a total of 452 minutes without transformations.
Sarmiento was born from a great victory in Mar del Plata against Aldosivi, direct rival in the fight not to go down.
Israel Damonte’s team hadn’t won in four rounds and, with those three points, they drifted a little way from the bottom of the media standings.
In history they have played seven times in total equality: three wins per team (the last two games were won by Unión) and one draw.
