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

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

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

The team led by Leonardo Madelón is in a good footballing moment, accumulating six matches without a defeat, with a record of three wins and three draws that position them in third place on the table, a spot they share with today's opponent.

So far in the tournament, el Tatengue has four wins, four draws, and two losses. In their recent performances, the red and white team has played high-voltage matches: they recently drew 4-4 against Independiente and 1-1 against Boca Juniors, showing offensive power but also some defensive shortcomings.

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

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