Union Santa Fe vs Gimnasia La Plata Prediction: Union Santa Fe as yet to achieve a win

The eighth round of the Torneo Betano 2025 features an important clash between Unión Santa Fe and Gimnasia La Plata. This will be two sides trying to rebound from their recent results while collecting important points.

Union Santa Fe (LDLLD)

Santa Fe was beaten 1-0 by Huracán in their most recent match. The match was very even with Unión having 51% possession and 13 goal attempts. But their failure to take chances sat badly with them as they had only four shots on target. Huracán’s Miljevic converted a penalty in the 51st minute, which was the decisive moment. But Unión could not take advantage of this attacking intent in front of goal: their best chance crashed off the woodwork. They had a good defensive game, but concentration lapses allowed the other side to carry a threat. Heading into that and they will have to improve their finishing, again not losing a match would be extremely frustrating.

Gimnasia La Plata (WWDWW)

In the last round, Gimnasia La Plata overcame Atlético Tucumán thanks to a 1-0 victory. Tucumán had been the more dominant side, using possession (64 per cent) as a springboard, but they did not push on to the full extent. Castillo broke the deadlock in the 5th minute, and they managed to hold onto the early lead. However, their defensive resilience was important despite the fact that they only took six shots and hardly created any clear cut chances. Giampaoli was the rock on the half capturing some crucial saves to prevent Tucumán from getting back into the game. A major factor as Unión Santa Fe await will be their solid backline.
