Palacios and Giaccone come off, Luna Diale and La Perla Ramírez come on
Unión will face a risky away trip this Saturday against Talleres de Córdoba in a match corresponding to the ninth round of Zone A of the Clausura Tournament. The game will be played from 8 p.m. at the Mario Alberto Kempes Stadium and will have Nazareno Arasa as referee.
The team coached by Leonardo Madelón will look to return to winning ways to stay near the top of the table. El Tatengue know that a win in Córdoba could be important not only because of the three points, but also because it would allow them to put pressure on the teams above them.
The mission will not be easy. Unión will visit a Talleres side going through a difficult spell and needing to respond in front of their fans. The Córdoba team sit in 15th place with only five points and have conceded 13 goals so far in the tournament, so they will try to make home advantage count at the Kempes and begin to turn things around.
For this match, Madelón will have to make one forced change from the last game. Julián Palacios will return to the starting lineup after serving a one-match suspension and will take the place of Cristian Tarragona.
The main doubt concerns the position of Ignacio Malcorra, an important piece in the team’s overall play. The experienced footballer can play behind the striker, although there is also the possibility that he drops a few meters deeper to play as a midfielder.
If Madelón opts for the latter alternative, Unión could line up in a 4-3-3, with a stronger presence in the middle of the pitch and a different distribution of their players. The final decision will be linked to the search for the balance the coach wants for a demanding match.
On the other side will be a Talleres team led by Omar De Felippe, who come in needing results. Their position in the table and the goals conceded during the tournament reflect a start below expectations, although the Córdoba side will try to use home advantage to trouble a Unión team that arrive with different objectives.
El Tatengue know they cannot let this opportunity slip away. Getting back to winning ways is the main mission to remain in the fight near the top, while taking the three points in Córdoba would allow them to approach the upcoming rounds with greater confidence and put pressure on their direct rivals.
