Leonardo Madelón set to name unchanged side for third match running | OneFootball

At Unión, there is an atmosphere of stability and confidence. Leonardo Madelón seems to have found the formula, and everything indicates that for next Friday’s match, at 7 PM against Banfield at the Florencio Sola stadium, he would keep the same starting lineup for the third consecutive time.

The Tatengue is coming off two matches where they showed character: first with a valuable victory in La Plata against Gimnasia, and then with a 2-2 draw against Independiente Rivadavia at the 15 de Abril, which allowed them to remain the sole leader of Zone A in the Torneo Clausura.

The standings show them with a one-point lead over their pursuers, nine points above the Copa Sudamericana 2026 qualification zone (though with the possibility of changes), and twelve points clear of the relegation spots in the annual table.

The outlook is excellent: there are no injured or suspended players, and while the starters rested after the weekend clash, the substitutes and those out of favor gained some playing time this Monday in a friendly against Independiente de Santo Tomé, played at the 15 de Abril stadium.

If there are no unforeseen events during the week, Madelón’s eleven to face the Taladro would be: Matías Tagliamonte; Lautaro Vargas, Maizon Rodríguez, Franco Pardo, and Mateo Del Blanco; Julián Palacios, Mauro Pittón, Enzo Roldán, and Franco Fragapane; Marcelo Estigarribia and Cristian Tarragona.

The possibility of repeating the lineup for the third consecutive time reflects the solid moment Unión is experiencing, as they look to further strengthen their leadership and consolidate their campaign towards the season’s objectives in southern Buenos Aires.
