The Racing Club, which despite not showing a very convincing performance, has two consecutive victories and is among the candidates to win the tournament, receives the Unión de Santa Fe this Sunday with the need to extend the streak, in one of the matches of the date 21 of the Professional Football League.
The match is played at the Presidente Perón stadium, in the city of Avellaneda, from 18:00, with Patricio Loustau as referee and broadcast by TNT Sports.
Racing seemed to be excluded from the group of teams with a chance to win the LPF after losing to Estudiantes, in La Plata, but he beat Patronato and Platense, with just enough, with nothing left and with a style of play. less generous when looking for the result.
Fernando Gago’s side believed again and are now aiming for another win against Unión, which would bring them close to the top, being second behind Boca in the annual standings and approaching qualification for the 2023 Copa Libertadores.
The Union will face Avellaneda’s team, who have barely scored a goal in their last eight games and have only scored five of those 24 units.
The team led by Uruguayan Gustavo Munúa reached the round of 16 of this Copa Sudamericana and is now six units from the qualifying zone for the next one.
