A strong away win for Unión Santa Fe against Sarmiento the last match, as Franco Calderón, Mauro Luna Diale and Gastón González (2) were on target. A goal frenzy last time out for Unión, with a total of 7 goals in the match against Sarmiento. Fun stuff to watch! Gastón González, who usually plays near the opponent's goal, was the highest rated player for the team in that match, collecting a rating of 9.02 (out of 10). González scored two goals, served one assist and hit one key pass.

Preceding that match was a defeat to Platense (1-2).

This is expected to be a close game, with Unión Santa Fe perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage.

Racing Club form and stats

3-3-2 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Racing Club, who have the fewest conceded goals (9) in Superliga, in their Superliga matches away.

The manager C. Úbeda was unhappy after their last game, a Superliga match played at their home ground Estadio Presidente Juan Domingo Perón. Racing suffered a 0-1 loss to Platense (placed 17th). Defender Leonardo Sigali was the best team player with a rating of 7.51. Sigali hit one key pass and won 10 of 15 duels.

Prior to that result Racing won their away game at Patronato. The scoreline was 2-1.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Racing playing away and similar expectations, we found 16 relevant matches. Results were five Racing Club wins, three draws and eight defeats.

The schedule is very tough for Racing now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Superliga game at Rosario Central is waiting in only four days.

It's not easy to score on Racing Club as they have only conceded 5 goals from these away games. It's worth mentioning that 4 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.
