Unión fine-tune plans to host Gimnasia, Madelón lines up two key changes | OneFootball

The excitement in the Unión world is immense. For the first time since this competition format was established, Tatengue will face the playoffs of the Torneo Clausura at home, this Monday from 10 PM against Gimnasia y Esgrima La Plata, in a 15 de Abril stadium expected to be packed.

Regarding the team, Leonardo Madelón is considering making two changes compared to the last match against Belgrano. One of them was expected: Lautaro Vargas has served his suspension for accumulating yellow cards and would return to the right-back position in place of the Uruguayan Emiliano Álvarez, thus recovering a usual piece of the defensive sector.

The other change would be in the offense and is a tactical decision. Marcelo Estigarribia is regaining ground to accompany Cristian Tarragona in the attack, replacing Agustín Colazo, who would leave the starting eleven. Madelón seeks to recover the formula that showed the best performance during the regular phase.

The coach would also confirm the presence of Franco Fragapane, keeping him on the left side and once again betting on the balance he provided to the midfield in the strongest phases of the tournament.

With this outlook, Unión's probable lineup to face Lobo would be: Matías Tagliamonte; Lautaro Vargas, Maizon Rodríguez, Valentín Fascendini, Mateo Del Blanco; Julián Palacios, Mauro Pittón, Mauricio Martínez, Franco Fragapane; Marcelo Estigarribia and Cristian Tarragona.

The anticipation is at its peak. Unión arrives with confidence after a campaign that solidified its position among the main contenders, and now it will seek to take the first step in a historic stage. The 15 de Abril is preparing for a night that could mark a before and after.
