Instituto arrives at this game having finished 1-1 on home soil against Platense. They were able to score in the first half of the second half but again this time their defensive discipline failed and they conceded an equaliser soon after. Instituto have not been in the best of form with only one win in their last five games they have been conceding 4 of these matches.They have lost twice, and have drawn twice over that span. This inconsistency notwithstanding, they perform a little bit well at home compared to their away games with the xG average standing at 1.29 when playing in Cordoba. They also have an average of 13.67 shots per game indicating that they are offensive minded, but their conversion rate of 10% is still a problem.
Instituto: Lineup
Coach Daniel Oldra is expected to stick with the 4-4-2 formation with Lodico and Romera providing strengthening in the midfield with Fonseca and Luna remaining at the head of the line. Puebla and Moreyra will be the players supporting wide areas to give width to attack.
� Instituto starting lineup (4-4-2)
Roffo – Franco, Requena, Alarcon, Pereyra – Puebla, Romera, Lodico, Moreyra – Fonseca, Luna
⛔️ Out: Klimowicz, Suarez ( injured)
� Head coach: Daniel Oldra
Union Santa Fe: Form and Statistics
Union Santa Fe comes with a feeling of confidence through competitive schedule but recent form is not solid.Their previous five games have seen them win twice, draw twice and lose once, that loss being a 1-0 loss to Argentinos Juniors.Even with that they’ve displayed defensive solidity, especially on the road, they've kept two clean sheets in their last four games. But Union has managed to score just once in their past three contests and their inefficiency in the final third is stated by the fact that they have a 4 percent shot conversion percentage.They have the low xG away of 0.87, and they have not won a game in this Clausura season.
Union Santa Fe: Lineup
Leonardo Madelon would like to continue with a more conventional 4-4-2, hoping that Luduena and Pardo will offer defensive solidity. Gamba and Tarragona will play as the forward duo and aim at escaping the recent failure in front of goal.
� Union Santa Fe starting lineup (4-4-2)
Tagliamonte – Vargas, Luduena, Fascendini, Del Blanco – Solari, Martínez, Pittón, Palacios – Gamba, Tarragona
⛔️ Out: Domina (injured), Pitton (in doubt)
� Head coach: Leonardo Madelon
