Unión’s double aim as they host Deportivo Riestra | OneFootball

Unión will play a key match this Friday against Deportivo Riestra. The fact is that El Tate cannot afford to keep dropping points, having taken just two from the last nine.

Unión and a double objective against Riestra

As a result, the team is more compelled than ever to return to winning ways, since this run of matches without a win has caused them to slip down the Zona A standings.

So much so that for several rounds the team was sitting in 2nd or 3rd place, and now it is 7th. Hence the need to get all three points again.

But in addition, the other objective has to do with extending their positive run at the 15 de Abril, as Unión is unbeaten at home in the Apertura Tournament.

So far in the competition, El Rojiblanco has played five matches in Santa Fe, earning two wins and three draws, taking nine points from 15 available, with a 60% success rate and a goal difference of +5.

On Matchday 1, Unión drew 0-0 with Platense, then on Matchday 3 thrashed Gimnasia de Mendoza 4-0. Meanwhile, on Matchday 5 they drew 0-0 against San Lorenzo. On Matchday 6 they beat Aldosivi 1-0, and on Matchday 11 they drew 0-0 with Boca.

With that in mind, El Tate will look to extend its unbeaten home run to five matches. The last defeat came in the round of 16 of the 2025 Clausura Tournament, when it lost 2-1 to Gimnasia de La Plata.
