Unión defend top spot as Aldosivi battle to avoid relegation | OneFootball

This Friday starting at 9:15pm, Tatengue will face off against Tiburón at the April 15th stadium for matchday 11 of the Clausura Tournament.

Unión will host Aldosivi this Friday at 9:15pm, at the April 15th stadium, for matchday 11 of the Clausura Tournament of the Professional League. Tatengue, leader and undefeated in Zone A, will seek to stay at the top, while Tiburón arrives last and without victories, forced to add points to escape relegation.

Leonardo Madelón's team is going through a moment of confidence and regularity that keeps it as the sole leader. Although it comes from two consecutive draws against Independiente Rivadavia and Banfield, it retains the top spot thanks to its offensive power, being the highest scoring team in the championship with 15 goals. Cristian Tarragona, Marcelo Estigarribia and Mauricio Martínez were the main protagonists of this streak.

For this match there will be a forced change: Lucas Gamba will replace Estigarribia, who is carrying a knee injury. In addition, the coach surprised with the call-up of the Reserve's top scorer, Misael Aguirre, and the young Santiago Grella.

In contrast, Aldosivi arrives in Santa Fe immersed in a deep crisis. It occupies the last place in all the tables and has not yet won in the Clausura, with just one goal in favor —scored in the defeat against Barracas Central—. The poor campaign resulted in the departure of Mariano Charlier and the assumption of Guillermo Farré, although the new coach also failed to reverse the situation after the defeats against Tigre and Sarmiento. The tension in Mar del Plata is increasing, with fans' complaints towards the management and the coaching staff.

The duel at the April 15th stadium puts two teams with opposite needs face to face: Unión, which wants to maintain its leadership and undefeated status; and Aldosivi, which is looking for a breath of fresh air to not further complicate its permanence.
