Unión visit Defensa y Justicia aiming for a win to stay near the top | OneFootball

El Tatengue, with only one change among the starters, will play against the Florencio Varela team from 17:45 with Felipe Viola as referee.

Unión visits Defensa y Justicia this afternoon in Florencio Varela with the goal of keeping their streak alive and staying close to the top of Zone A.

The team led by Leonardo Madelón arrives in good form, having gone six matches without a loss, with three wins and three draws that place them in third place in the standings, a position they share precisely with today's rival.

So far in the tournament, El Tatengue has recorded four wins, four draws, and two losses. In their most recent games, the red-and-white team has been involved in high-voltage matches: they come from a 4-4 draw against Independiente and a 1-1 draw against Boca Juniors, showing offensive power but also some defensive weaknesses.

For this match, Madelón will not be able to repeat the starting eleven he had been using. The absence of Julián Palacios, who was unable to recover from a muscle strain, will force a change in midfield. In that area, Augusto Solari will play in place of the former San Lorenzo player.

On the other hand, Defensa y Justicia comes into this match with a lot of confidence after an impressive 5-2 away win over San Lorenzo. That result extended their unbeaten run in the league to ten matches, with a record of 3 wins and 7 draws.
