The story so far in the Superliga for Unión Santa Fe at their home stadium (Estadio 15 de Abril) is 3 wins, 2 draws and 3 defeats.

Unión Santa Fe shared the glory with Patronato in their last match, an away game that ended all square 0-0. A painful moment in the game against Patronato was the missed penalty kick from Álvez in the 13th minute. A goal there would obviously have changed the match and probably the outcome. Corvalán was "man of the match" with a rating of 7.82 out of 10. The defender Corvalán hit two key passes and won 6 of 7 duels.

Sarmiento play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 2-1 victory visiting Aldosivi (placed 26th). That victory felt good as this team had gone four league games without winning. Attacker Gondou got a player rating of 7.8 in the game. "Man of the match" Gondou scored one goal and dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times.

Preceding that match was the 0-0 draw at home vs Gimnasia La Plata.

The attacking power of Sarmiento when travelling is not overwhelming with 7 goals scored from 9 league matches away. It's worth mentioning that 4 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. 13 goals have been conceded by Sarmiento in these games.
