Union de Santa Fe Preview – Can Union spring surprise?
At the end of the 1st phase of this Argentinian Liga Professional campaign, Union Santa Fe finished up in 6th place in Group B and just a point adrift of the top four pack as we now head into the 2nd phase of the season this weekend.
The draw dominated Union’s results in the 1st phase as the hosts were involved in no fewer than seven stalemates in their 13 matches played, while also remaining unbeaten at home with a stubborn looking record of 2-4-0 7/5.
Four stalemates along with important wins against Lanus and Friday’s visitors, Boca Jrs, have shown that Union are a tough team to beat at home but they’ve managed to beat Boca Juniors just twice in their previous seven meetings.
Boca Jrs Preview – Can Boca Jrs make positive start?
Boca Juniors finished the 1st phase in 2nd place in Group B but were nine points adrift of the leaders, Velez Sarsfield, but nevertheless, this was enough for Boca Juniors to progress through to the final stages of the 1st phase term.
A win on penalties against River Plate in the quarter-finals sent Boca Jrs through to the semi-finals where they eventually lost out on penalties to Racing Club but this should give Boca Juniors belief that they can make a similar challenge in this 2nd phase of the season.
Boca Juniors have produced reasonable results away from home too as the visitors have lost just three of their last 16 away matches, which also includes 10 wins.
