Union de Santa Fe take on the visitors Boca Juniors in the round 23 match of Argentine Liga Professional. The match will be played on Thursday, June 6th at Estadio 15 de Abril (Santa Fe).
Union are approaching the significant milestone of its 120th anniversary. However, the club has not won any major trophies except for a victory in the second division of the country, which happened half a century ago in 1966. It's worth noting that Tatengue only made their debut in the Copa Sudamericana, the equivalent of the UEFA Europa League, in 2019. Currently, their focus is not on the international arena. The previous season was already unsuccessful for them, finishing in 22nd place in the league. However, since the Primera Division has 26 teams, they were not the ultimate underdogs. The new championship has proven to be much more challenging, and their 2-0 victory against Estudiantes in March was their only win in 15 rounds. Towards the end of spring, under the guidance of Gustavo Munua, a fairly well-known former Uruguayan goalkeeper, the team suddenly achieved three consecutive victories and went on a significant unbeaten streak, distancing themselves from the bottom of the table. However, in the last round of the Primera Division, they suffered a 0-1 defeat against Atletico Tucuman.

Boca Juniors have recently dominated Argentine football. They proved their dominance in 2022 by reclaiming the championship title from their rival, River Plate! Additionally, they won several trophies in Argentina that season, including the Super Cup and the Diego Maradona Trophy. However, in the new season, the team is solely focused on the Copa Libertadores. Even in that competition, they dropped points against Deportivo Pereira and Monagas. In the domestic league, they had more losses than victories for a significant period. Defending their title seemed unlikely, and they needed to secure a spot in international tournaments, even the Copa Sudamericana. In June, they managed to secure a meager point with a draw against Lanus at home. The champion was defeated by the ultimate underdog, Arsenal Sarandi, and Godoy Cruz handed them a 0-4 thrashing! The new calendar month started with a 2-0 victory against Sarmiento.
Surprisingly, in the 2021-2022 season, Boca failed to win in all three head-to-head matches against Union. Union achieved two victories, and there was one draw in Santa Fe. Both teams have weaknesses, but they are determined to fight for points, ideally aiming for a victory. The prediction is to bet on a neutral total goals over 2.0.
Prediction for the match: Over 2.0 scored goals.
