Madelón shuffles the defence: Unión’s line-up to face Central Córdoba | OneFootball

Leonardo Madelón has already decided on the team that will look to extend Unión’s good run in the 2026 Apertura Tournament. With the aim of maintaining the intensity shown in their recent thrashing, the coach will make only one change to the starting lineup: the inclusion of Valentín Fascendini in place of Juan Pablo Ludueña in central defense.

In this way, “El Tate” will take the field with Matías Mansilla between the posts; a defensive line made up of Lautaro Vargas, Maizon Rodríguez, the returning Valentín Fascendini, and Bruno Pittón. In midfield, balance and playmaking will be handled by Julián Palacios, Mauro Pittón, Rafael Profini, and Mateo Del Blanco. Finally, the attacking duo will once again consist of Marcelo Estigarribia and Cristian Tarragona.

On the other hand, the coaching staff has once again made tough decisions regarding the squad list, as Augusto Solari and Lucas Menossi have been left out of the traveling party. In terms of logistics, the club decided to move up the flight to midday, changing the original plan to travel in the afternoon due to storm forecasts over Santiago del Estero.

With this tactical change and a plan designed to avoid weather-related fatigue, Unión will try to take all three points at the “Madre de Ciudades” against a rival desperate for points.
