Everything at stake for Unión on the final day of the Clausura | OneFootball

The Clausura Tournament of the Professional League comes to a close with a final matchday that promises high doses of drama, especially in Zone A, where Unión will be looking to finish among the top four ahead of the playoffs.

Leonardo Madelón’s team will wrap up the regular phase at the Gigante de Alberdi stadium, facing Belgrano de Córdoba, with a significant advantage: they will know in advance all the results of their direct rivals, since their match will be the last of the round.

The table: tight and with several contenders

With only one matchday left, there are at least six teams fighting for the four tickets to the round of 16. Unión comes in with a promising position, with their ticket secured, and with the intention of finishing among the top four to start the next phase at home.

The schedule plays in Unión’s favor. By being the last to play their match, Madelón and his players will be able to speculate based on the results: they will know exactly what they need to strategically position themselves in the bracket.

If the other teams fighting for a spot fail to win, Unión could face their match against Belgrano with less pressure, or even already qualified among the top four.

Another factor that could play in favor of the Santa Fe side is the context of their rival. Belgrano could reach the final matchday with no mathematical chance of advancing, depending on how the results of the previous round play out.

In that case, Unión would visit a team that no longer has any pressure or competitive objectives, something that could influence the development of the match.

Everything still to be decided

Unión approaches the finale with a mix of hope and expectation. Madelón, with his experience, will be able to evaluate strategies according to the context left by the round, knowing that after qualification, the main objective is within reach.

The final matchday will not be just another one: Unión will play knowing they can determine their own fate, but also that a mistake could leave them lagging in the standings, regardless of qualification. It will be a final matchday where not only all the tickets and spots in the playoffs will be decided, but also the same will happen with qualification for the cups and relegation.
