No room to relax: Unión's slim cushion means wins from here on | OneFootball

Although there is still ground to cover in the current tournament, projections for next season have set off alarm bells in the Unión camp. If the championship ended today, the Tate would begin 2027 in the lower part of the relegation-average table, sharing a critical position that would force them to put together an impeccable campaign to avoid suffering over relegation.

The mathematical projection of the coefficient takes into account the points accumulated by teams that already have two seasons on the books. In this virtual scenario, Unión sits in 21st place with just 70 points, level with Sarmiento de Junín. Below the Tatengue are only Talleres (68), Central Córdoba (65), Atlético Tucumán (61), Newell’s (61), Banfield (61), Platense (60), and the two teams that earn promotion from the Primera Nacional.

To compile this list, Estudiantes de Río Cuarto and Aldosivi were provisionally excluded because they are currently in relegation places. Meanwhile, Gimnasia de Mendoza—which will only count the current campaign toward its coefficient—has a projected average of 1.400 thanks to its 35 points from 25 matches played.

This is how the 2027 averages would start today:

The picture shows that, while their immediate top-flight status is not in danger, the margin for error for the Tatengue in the near future is minimal. Picking up points in what remains of the year will be key to building a bigger cushion and avoiding starting next year with the noose around their neck.
