The curious coincidence behind Unión's three-win streak | OneFootball

Unión is enjoying a great spell in the Clausura Tournament and has reached three consecutive wins, a streak it had not achieved since the Apertura. What stands out is that the three opponents it defeated are exactly the same ones it had beaten on that occasion.

In the Apertura, the Santa Fe team began the streak with a 1-0 win over Aldosivi, then beat Sarmiento 3-1 away from home and closed the run with a 2-1 victory over Instituto in Córdoba.

Now, the team led by Leonardo Madelón has repeated the story, although with even more convincing results. First it beat Aldosivi 3-1 away from home, then thrashed Sarmiento 4-1 at the 15 de Abril, and finally defeated Instituto 3-1.

The main difference lies in the venues: during the Apertura, Unión won two of those three matches away from home, while in the Clausura it earned two victories in Santa Fe and one away.

It also notably improved its attacking output. In the current streak it scored 10 goals and conceded only three, achieving a +7 goal difference. In the Apertura it had scored six goals and conceded two, with a +4 difference.

So, in addition to regaining confidence and picking up important points, Unión achieved a striking coincidence that fuels its fans’ hopes: it once again strung together three consecutive wins, and did so against the same three opponents it had beaten in the first half of the year.
