Unión faces a challenging encounter in this round. The team has encountered significant ups and downs this season, hindering their chances of progressing to the playoffs. It is critical for them to maintain composure on the pitch and avoid any mishaps at home as they look to deliver a positive response against Newell’s Old Boys, who have remained unbeaten in recent rounds.
