Unión head to Banfield aiming to defend top spot in the league | OneFootball

Madelón's team wants to stay at the top of Zone A of the Professional League's Clausura.

Banfield and Unión clash this Friday in the context of the tenth date of the Clausura Tournament 2025 of the Professional Football League.

The match is played from 7 pm Argentina time at the Florencio Sola Stadium. It can be watched on TNT Sports, with refereeing by Luis Lobo Medina and Hernán Mastrángelo in the VAR.

The "Tatengue" arrives at this matchday as the brand new leader of Zone A, while the "Taladro" is sixth and wants to stay in playoff positions.

The team led by Pedro Troglio suffered a tough defeat on their visit to La Paternal against Argentinos by 3-0. However, before that, they had beaten Independiente 1-0 in Avellaneda.

Unión arrives in a great collective moment and is the only leader of its zone with 16 points, although below them are Barracas Central and Estudiantes with 15. Leonardo Carol Madelón's team knows that they must win at the Florencio Sola to stay at the top of the table.

Last weekend they let the victory slip away against the Lepra from Mendoza at home, but the Tatengue has five undefeated matches, added 11 out of 15 possible points and won their last three away matches against Instituto (4-0), Racing (3-2) and Gimnasia (3-1).

There are no indications yet of Banfield's possible lineup.

While Unión would start with Matías Tagliamonte; Lautaro Vargas, Alex Maizon Rodriguez, Valentín Fascendini, Mateo Del Blanco; Julián Palacios, Mauricio Martínez, Mauro Pittón, Franco Fragapane; Marcelo Estigarribia and Cristian Tarragona. DT: Leonardo Carol Madelón.
