Leonardo Madelón could name an unchanged side for the third match running | OneFootball

In Unión, there is an atmosphere of stability and confidence. Leonardo Madelón seems to have found the formula, and everything indicates that for the match next Friday, at 19:00 against Banfield at the Florencio Sola stadium, he would maintain the same starting team for the third consecutive time.

The Tatengue comes from two matches where they showed character: first with a valuable victory in La Plata against Gimnasia and then with a 2-2 draw against Independiente Rivadavia at the 15 de Abril, which allowed them to remain as the sole leader of Zone A of the Torneo Clausura.

The standings show them with a one-point advantage over their pursuers, nine points above the qualification zone for the Copa Sudamericana 2026 (although with possibilities of shifts) and twelve points above the relegation spots in the annual table.

The outlook is excellent: there are no injured or suspended players, and while the starters had rest after the weekend clash, the substitutes and reserves gained experience this Monday in a friendly against Independiente de Santo Tomé, played at the 15 de Abril stadium.

If no unforeseen events arise during the week, Madelón's eleven to visit El Taladro would be: Matías Tagliamonte; Lautaro Vargas, Maizon Rodríguez, Franco Pardo, and Mateo Del Blanco; Julián Palacios, Mauro Pittón, Enzo Roldán, and Franco Fragapane; Marcelo Estigarribia and Cristian Tarragona.

The possibility of repeating the lineup for the third consecutive time reflects the moment of solidity that Unión is experiencing, as they seek to further strengthen their leadership in southern Buenos Aires and consolidate their campaign towards the season's objectives.
