After the tough loss to Independiente de Oliva, Unión will visit Atenas at 9:30 PM, with the mission of changing their image in the National League.
Following the hard defeat against Independiente de Oliva outside of Santa Fe, Unión will seek a quick reaction this Tuesday in the National League at 9:30 PM, when they visit Atenas, with the game officiated by Fabricio Vito, Ariel Rosas, and Andrés Barbarini.
The Córdoba team returns to play in front of their fans after an unproductive tour in Buenos Aires, where they suffered defeats against San Lorenzo (76-67) and Ferro (93-79). Adding to this situation, there was a significant loss: captain Lucas Arn underwent surgery for plantar fasciitis in his right foot and will be away from the courts.
For the Tate, this will be the last commitment of their tour in Córdoba. At the start of the tour, they achieved a valuable victory against Instituto by 80 to 78, but then suffered a tough setback in Oliva, where Independiente won decisively (103-75). The challenge now is to provide an immediate response against a historically strong opponent.
The most recent precedent is favorable to Unión: at the beginning of 2026, in Santa Fe, they clearly defeated the team led by José Luis Pisani with a score of 99 to 76. That night marked the debut of Serbian Marko Lubik, who is currently absent due to injury and still without a replacement.
Meanwhile, the red and white team is undergoing a process of adjustments. Ignacio Alessio had to leave the activity due to an injury and also resigned the captaincy. To strengthen the rotation, the American Theodore Akwuba has joined in recent games and is beginning to adapt to the team's dynamics.
