Union Santa Fe
- Union Santa Fe are undefeated in their last 5 (W3, D2).
- But they approach this clash in very different moods with Union Santa Fe on a hot streak and Boca struggling to convert one point into three.
- At 15 points from 9 games, Union are fourth in the Liga Profesional - Apertura 2026 table, two clear of Boca in 11th.
- Their recent results include back-to-back away wins over Sarmiento (3-1) and Instituto (2-1) followed by a 4-4 draw at Independiente that was as exciting as the score suggests.
- Union have scored five goals in four home games, so don’t expect a barrage against Boca either.
Boca Juniors
- Boca Juniors are undefeated in their last 5 (W2, D3) but have lost two of their three away games.
- Boca are very structured and disciplined under coach Claudio Ubeda, who has been at the helm since October 2025, so this could be a chess match won on mistakes and midfield battles.
- But injuries to key players have prevented them from playing with the same fluency, and Union could exploit their momentum in this clash of styles.
Head-to-Head
Union’s home form has been good, and they haven’t lost recently in this fixture, with Boca failing to win on their two visits to Santa Fe.
