Unión head coach Leonardo Madelón has to make changes to the lineup due to Marcelo Estigarribia’s suspension. Nicolás Palvecino will come in for him, which means there will also be a tactical switch for the visit to Vélez.
Next Monday at 6:45 p.m., Unión will visit Vélez in a crucial match for the Tatengue, who are obliged to pick up points after two straight defeats.
The red-and-white side remains 7th in Zone A, but they can’t afford to keep dropping points, which is why they will be playing a real final against El Fortín.
And for this match, head coach Leonardo Madelón is forced to tweak the lineup, since in the game against Newell’s, Marcelo Estigarribia was booked and reached five yellow cards.
As a result, he will have to serve a one-match suspension, and Madelón has already decided that Palavecino will replace Chelo, so the team will switch tactically from a 4-4-2 to a 4-4-1-1.
Meanwhile, Brahian Cuello, who had been training all week with some discomfort, is available and will remain in the starting lineup against El Fortín.
All told, Unión’s team to face Vélez would be as follows: Matías Mansilla; Lautaro Vargas, Maizon Rodríguez, Juan Pablo Ludueña and Mateo Del Blanco; Julián Palacios, Mauro Pittón, Rafael Profini and Brahian Cuello; Nicolás Palavecino and Cristian Tarragona.
