LNB: Unión aim to get back to winning ways away at Atenas de Córdoba | OneFootball

After the tough defeat against Independiente de Oliva, Unión will visit Atenas at 9:30 PM, with the mission of changing their image in the National League.

After the harsh loss to Independiente de Oliva away from Santa Fe, Unión will seek a quick reaction this Tuesday in the National League, starting at 9:30 PM, when they visit Atenas, with referees Fabricio Vito, Ariel Rosas, and Andrés Barbarini in charge.

The Cordoban team returns to play in front of their fans after an unproductive tour of Buenos Aires, where they suffered defeats against San Lorenzo (76-67) and Ferro (93-79). To make matters worse, they suffered a significant loss: captain Lucas Arn underwent surgery for plantar fasciitis in his right foot and will be away from the courts.

Unión seeks recovery in Córdoba

For Tate, this will be their last game in Córdoba. At the start of the tour, they achieved a valuable victory over Instituto by 80 to 78, but then suffered a tough setback in Oliva, where Independiente won convincingly (103-75). The challenge now is to deliver an immediate response against a historically strong opponent.

The most recent precedent favors Unión: at the beginning of 2026, in Santa Fe, they clearly defeated the team led by José Luis Pisani by 99 to 76. That night marked the debut of Serbian player Marko Lubik, who is currently absent due to injury and still without a replacement.

Meanwhile, the red-and-white squad is going through a process of adjustments. Ignacio Alessio had to leave the team due to injury and also gave up the captaincy. To strengthen the rotation, American Theodore Akwuba has joined the team in recent games and is beginning to adapt to the team's system.
