It's early days in the Superliga and both Arsenal de Sarandi and Unión Santa Fe are still hoping for a flying start in order to set the tone for the season. Three points can make a big difference at this stage.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Arsenal de Sarandi form and stats
Arsenal de Sarandi's first Superliga home game here at Estadio Julio Humberto Grondona ended in defeat. Last season their home statistics were 5 wins, 5 draws and 2 defeats from 12 matches.
A strong away win for Arsenal against Racing Club the last match, as Jhonatan Candia and Lucas Albertengo were on target. Preceding that match was a defeat to Atlético Tucumán (1-2).
Arsenal de Sarandi goalkeeper Maximiliano Gagliardo did an outstanding job against Racing Club with six saves, so vital to securing the victory.
It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Arsenal de Sarandi at home in the league. 1 on target and 2 scored by the opposition; from 1 match.
Unión Santa Fe form and stats
The visitors' first away game in the Superliga ended in defeat. Last season Unión Santa Fe had these away match statistics: Played 12; won 3, drew 3 and lost 6.
Unión play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 1-3 to Atlético Tucumán (placed 1st). Prior to that match, a home win 2-0 against Racing Club.
The schedule is very tough for Unión Santa Fe now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Copa Sudamericana game at Bahia is waiting in only four days.
It's early days yet, but Unión Santa Fe has scored 1 and conceded 3 goals from their travels in the league so far (1 game).
Head 2 Head
These teams' last encounter with each other was the Unión Santa Fe - Arsenal 0-0 earlier this season. Head-to-head totals (for the last five meetings): Arsenal won two games, three matches ended with a draw and Unión Santa Fe has zero wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: one / fourTop Goalscorers
