Unión Santa Fe form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Unión Santa Fe so far with only 2 points returning home. The records show 0-2-4 (win-draw-lose). It's looking increasingly bleak for Unión who now has to deal with a four game losing streak. Newell's Old Boys was the last time a defeat was avoided.

The regulars enjoyed Unión Santa Fe's previous match versus Oriente Petrolero, a Copa Sudamericana win (2-0) played at home.

A loss against Defensa y Justicia was the result prior to that, in a Superliga home game.

Unión Santa Fe are seemingly not capable of scoring regularly on their travels in the league. They have only managed 2 goals from 6 away games.

Head 2 Head

As for the last five games between these two teams, there's one Argentinos victory, zero draws and four Unión Santa Fe wins. Over/under statistics; two of these games ended with three goals or more, three matches with two goals or less. The games between these clubs have sometimes been "violent", having seen 6 red cards from the last five duels.
