Unión seek an upset against Talleres, aim to improve 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 First Division.

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 remaining 19 matches ended in draws.

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

Córdoba, a difficult venue for Unión

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

La “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, on the other hand, 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 most recent meeting ended level

The latest 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 in different circumstances. Unión will arrive looking to win again and stay in the upper part of Zone A, while Talleres needs points to get out of a difficult situation.

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