Unión look to upset Talleres and improve a poor record | OneFootball

Unión is getting ready to visit Talleres this Saturday starting at 8 p.m. for the ninth round of the Clausura Tournament, in a new chapter of a rivalry with a long history in the Primera División.

The overall head-to-head record between the two teams favors the Córdoba side. Across 49 meetings, Talleres has recorded 18 wins, while Unión has come out on top 12 times. The other 19 matches ended in draws.

In addition, the gap also shows up in the scoring record: Talleres has scored 78 goals, while the Tatengue has netted 60.

Córdoba, a difficult venue for Unión

The stat that most concerns Leonardo Madelón’s team appears when looking at the matches played in Córdoba. There, Unión and Talleres have faced each other 22 times, with clear home dominance.

The “T” has claimed 11 wins, while Unión has managed to win only once. The other 10 matches ended in draws.

In other words, the Tatengue has only managed to win once away against Talleres, a record it will try to change in this new appearance at the Mario Alberto Kempes Stadium.

In Santa Fe, by contrast, the story is much more favorable for Unión. Out of 26 matches played, the red-and-white side won 11, Talleres took six, and there were nine draws.

The last meeting ended level

The most recent clash between the two took place on May 2, 2026, in the ninth round of the Torneo Apertura Mercado Libre. On that occasion, Unión was at home at the 15 de Abril Stadium, and the match ended 1-1.

Rick Lima Morais gave the Córdoba side the lead, while Cristian Tarragona scored the equalizer for the Santa Fe team.

Now, the two will meet again, although under different circumstances. Unión will arrive looking to get back to winning and stay in the upper part of Zone A, while Talleres needs points to climb out of a difficult situation.

For the Tatengue, it will also be an opportunity to break a historically unfavorable run in Córdoba and earn three points that could prove important in its fight for the top spots.
