Leaders Unión host Independiente Rivadavia, aiming to stay top | OneFootball

Unión will seek to maintain its great present this Saturday, when it hosts Independiente Rivadavia from Mendoza, at the 15 de Abril Stadium, as part of the 9th round of the 2025 Clausura Tournament of the Professional Football League. The match will start at 16.45 and will be broadcasted by Radio Gol 96.7 FM, with the narration of Sergio "Chango" López and commentary by Fernando Husef Alí.

Without making much noise, El Tatengue climbed to the top of Zone A by beating Gimnasia in El Bosque by 3 to 1, thus achieving three wins in a row as a visitor for the first time in 25 years. However, the red and white team wants to take things calmly, as their coach Leonardo Madelón assured in a press conference: "We go step by step, without losing balance, the word championship is forbidden". The good moment is reflected in their offensive record, being with 13, the team that scored the most goals, only behind River.

On the other hand, those led by Alfredo Berti are having an irregular semester, which has them in need of adding points to get closer to the playoff positions and get out of the bottom three of their zone, a position they fell to after the 1-0 defeat against Lanús in La Fortaleza, which meant the fifth match without victories in their last six presentations. Now they will try to get their act together in the Clausura Tournament, with the semifinals of the Argentina Cup assured after beating Tigre 3-1.

Possible line-ups

Unión: Matías Tagliamonte; Lautaro Vargas, Maizon Rodríguez, Valentín Fascendini, Mateo Del Blanco; Julián Palacios, Mauro Pittón, Mauricio Martínez, Franco Fragapane; Cristian Tarragona and Marcelo Estigarribia. Coach: Leonardo Madelón.

Independiente Rivadavia: Ezequiel Centurión; Leonard Costa, Iván Villalba, Sheyko Studer; Ezequiel Bonifacio, Maximiliano Amarfil, Tomás Bottari, Luciano Gómes; Matías Fernández; Sebastián Villa and Álex Arce. Coach: Alfredo Berti.
