Unión Santa Fe form and stats

Unión Santa Fe have collected 12 points from their Superliga home games so far after 3-3-4.

The supporters are hoping that Unión Santa Fe will strike back in this fixture, putting things right after the 0-1 away loss in the match against Atletico Tucuman (placed 24th). Up until that match this club had gone six consecutive league rounds without a loss. Gordillo (midfield) was the top team player in that game with a rating of 7.33/10. Gordillo had 38 successful passes (of 47 total).

Previous to that game, a home match hosting Independiente in a game that was won 3-0.

Low-scoring affair? Looking at this team's last 11 league games, 9 have contained less than three goals (under 2.5).

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Unión as they are travelling to their away game against Talleres Córdoba in the Superliga. That match is four days after this one.

Unión Santa Fe's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 12 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last three home matches.

Boca Juniors form and stats

Boca Juniors have only collected 10 points from their away games in the Superliga, after 3-1-6 (10 played). Juniors has lost their two previous away games and are eager to kill a negative trend in its infancy.

Impressive finishing from Merentiel and Medina secured the home win 2-0 against Sarmiento in their previous game. That win felt nice as this team had gone three league matches without winning. Midfield player Medina was the top player of the team with a match rating of 7.84/10. Medina scored one goal, hit two key passes, dribled past the opponent 1 of 2 times and had 38 successful passes (of 43 total).

A home win as expected against Monagas ahead of that, in the Copa Libertadores.

Low on goals? 9 of this side's latest 12 league matches have had two or less goals.

A new game in only four days for Boca Juniors, the Superliga home match versus Huracan. Busy days.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Juniors as they have only managed to score 9 times from 10 away games in the league. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. As opposed to that, Boca Juniors have seen the ball go into their own net 13 times on the road.

Head 2 Head

Head-2-head stats last nine meetings: four - one - four (Unión Santa Fe wins - draws - Boca Juniors wins). As for goals, four matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), five had two or less.
