Union Preview – Can Union gain home comforts?
Having lost both of their last two away matches on the trot, Thursday’s hosts, Union, will no doubt be relieved to be returning to the more familiar surroundings of their Estadio 15 de Abril where they’ll take on Defensa y Justicia on Thursday evening.
In between defeats on the road at Independiente and Newell’s Old Boys, Union recorded a 3-1 home win against Rosario Central which will give them confidence in getting something out of this upcoming encounter against Defensa.
With just four defeats from their last 16 home games, Union have made themselves a tough unit to beat on home turf and they’ve lost just one of the previous five meetings against their visitors as well.
Defensa y Justicia Preview – Can Defensa extend impressive run?
Defensa y Justicia also have plenty of reasons to be confident about their chances too on Thursday evening as the visitors have won six of their last seven matches overall in the Liga Profesional, a sequence of results which has placed them in 5th spot.
However, only two of these six wins have been achieved away from home and indeed, Defensa y Justicia have registered just these two wins out of their last 18 away matches in the Argentinian top flight so they may face a tough trip here as well.
In addition, Defensa have also failed to score in eight of these 18 away games too.
