Unión aim to upset Talleres and improve a poor record | OneFootball

Unión is getting ready to visit Talleres this Saturday starting at 8 p.m. for the ninth round of the Clausura Tournament, in a new chapter of a rivalry with a long history in the First Division.

The overall head-to-head record between the two teams favors the Córdoba side. Across 49 matches, Talleres has claimed 18 wins, while Unión has come out on top 12 times. The remaining 19 matches ended in draws.

In addition, the difference also shows in the goal record: Talleres has scored 78 goals, while El Tatengue has netted 60.

Córdoba, a tough venue for Unión

The statistic that most concerns Leonardo Madelón’s team appears when analyzing the matches played in Córdoba. There, Unión and Talleres have faced each other 22 times, with clear home dominance.

La “T” has earned 11 wins, while Unión has managed to win just once. The other 10 matches ended in draws.

That means El Tatengue has only managed to beat Talleres once away from home, a record it will look to change in this new appearance at the Mario Alberto Kempes Stadium.

In Santa Fe, on the other hand, the story is much more favorable for Unión. Out of 26 matches played, the red-and-white side won 11, Talleres took six, and there were nine draws.

The last meeting ended level

The most recent clash between the two took place on May 2, 2026, in the ninth round of the Torneo Apertura Mercado Libre. On that occasion, Unión was at home at the 15 de Abril Stadium, and the match ended 1-1.

Rick Lima Morais gave the Córdoba side the lead, while Cristian Tarragona scored the equalizer for the Santa Fe team.

Now, the two will meet again, although in different situations. Unión will arrive looking to get back to winning and stay in the upper part of Zone A, while Talleres needs points to get out of a difficult situation.

For El Tatengue, it will also be an opportunity to break a historically unfavorable streak in Córdoba and earn three points that could prove important in its fight for the top spots.
