Unión target win over Gimnasia to move closer to group leaders | OneFootball

Unión will seek its third consecutive away victory, something it hasn't achieved in 25 years in the First Division, when it visits Gimnasia in La Plata at 3 PM.

This Sunday, Unión will aim to take another step in its goal to establish itself at the forefront of Zone A in the Torneo Clausura and, at the same time, continue distancing itself from the lower part of the table.

At 3 PM, Leonardo Madelón's team will visit Gimnasia y Esgrima La Plata at the Juan Carmelo Zerillo stadium, in a match corresponding to the eighth round, which will have Sebastián Martínez as the referee and be broadcast by TNT Sports Premium.

This is how Unión arrives at the match in La Plata

El Tate arrives with special motivation: it will attempt to achieve its third consecutive victory away from home, something it hasn't accomplished in the First Division for 25 years.

For this match, the coach from Santa Fe will be able to count once again on Maizon Rodríguez, who has recovered from a sprain in his left ankle and will take the place of Juan Pablo Ludueña in the central defense. This will be the only change in the starting eleven compared to the previous match.

The current situation of the Lobo

On the other side, the Lobo led by Alejandro Orfila also has everything settled. Norberto Briasco, recovered from a muscle strain, will return to the starting lineup after missing the matches against San Martín de San Juan and Atlético Tucumán. His entry will replace Jan Carlos Hurtado, who, despite forcing his return last match, did not offer his best performance.

The tripero squad maintains the same base as in recent matches, with a balance of three wins and two losses. In the midfield, the duo Nicolás Garayalde–Mateo Seoane seeks to dispel the doubts generated by their performance, while the imbalance on the flanks will rely on Manuel Panaro and Jeremías Merlo. Up front, Briasco will accompany Franco Torres, with whom the Uruguayan coach hopes to maintain the goal-scoring ability.

With both teams needing to score points to stay in the playoff qualification zone, the duel in the Bosque promises to be intense, with Unión attempting to write a historic page and Gimnasia determined to be strong at home.
