Unión must win to qualify, away at Vélez chasing top spot

Gambar artikel:Unión must win to qualify, away at Vélez chasing top spot

Vélez is looking to regain the top spot in Zone A, while Unión has no margin for error if it wants to break into the top eight.

For El Tatengue, the picture is clear: after an inconsistent run with just one win in its last six matches, winning in Liniers has become a must in order not to depend on other results in the fight for qualification. On the other side, the team managed by Guillermo Barros Schelotto has already secured its place in the knockout stage, but it needs all three points to try to overtake Estudiantes and Boca at the top of the table.

Unión is already in Liniers.

Madelón’s team traveled yesterday and is staying in Buenos Aires ahead of this afternoon’s match.

The record with Sebastián Martínez.

  1. For Unión: The record is mixed. Martínez has officiated Tate on three occasions, with one win (3-1 against Gimnasia in 2025) and two defeats (1-2 against El Lobo in the 2025 Clausura and 1-4 against Central Córdoba in 2022).
  2. For Vélez: The record is largely favorable. The referee has overseen five wins for El Fortín in recent years, including victories over Estudiantes, Lanús, Tigre, Platense, and Rosario Central. There has been only one defeat and one draw under his officiating.

Probable lineups.

Probable Vélez lineup: Although Barros Schelotto did not confirm it, Aarón Quirós or youth player Thiago Silvero is expected to replace the injured Magallán.

Probable Unión lineup: Matías Mansilla; Lautaro Vargas, Maizon Rodríguez, Juan Pablo Ludueña, Mateo del Blanco; Julián Palacios, Mauro Pittón, Rafael Profini, Brahian Cuello; Cristian Tarragona and Agustín Colazo. Head coach: Leonardo Madelón
