Club Atlético Unión Preview
The Tatengue tied in its debut in the Professional League. It was a 0-0 tie against Banfield as the visiting team. Although its goalkeeper Santiago Mele had a great night, the team was not able to win the match, non even on the counterattack.
Now, for the match against Instituto, the only confirmed absentee is Ezequiel Cañete, who had to be replaced during the last match. An MRI scan indicated that he has a grade 2 sprain of the internal collateral ligament of the knee. Thus, he will be out of the field for at least a month.
Probable lineup (4-3-3): Santiago Mele; Federico Vera, Franco Calderón, Claudio Corvalán and Lucas Esquivel; Kevin Zenon, Enzo Roldán and Mauro Luna; Imanol Machuca, Daniel Eduardo Juárez and Junior Marabel.
Instituto Atlético Central Córdoba Preview
La Gloria returned to the Argentine First Division with a 0-0 draw against Sarmiento in Junín. Instituto showed a defensive solidity very different from the last friendly match in Córdoba against Colón de Santa Fe, which left many people worried.
The central duo Mosevich-Alarcón played a magnificent game, and if they are able to maintain this level, it will be difficult to score against the Córdoba team. On the contrary, the offense did not play as good. It had no level or change of pace, so it did not generate a single one-on-one. To make matters worse, the set pieces were not well worked and the shots on goal did not pose trouble to the team’s opponents. Thumbs down for the red-and-red attack.
Probable lineup (4-4-2): Jorge Carranza; Giuliano Cerato, Leonel Mosevich, Fernando Alarcón and Sebastián Corda; Gabriel Graciani, Roberto Bochi, Franco Nahuel Watson and Gastón Lódico; Santiago Rodríguez and Adrián Martínez.
JefeBet Prediction
The history between Unión and Instituto indicates that out of 20 times they played in the professional era, Unión has won 5 matches and Instituto has won 7. That is to say, the draw, with eight incidents, is the most repeated result between the two, and at JefeBet, we believe that this is how the match will end on Sunday.
Prediction: 1-1 draw.
