Union de Santa Fe take on the visitors Fluminense in the round 5 match of Copa Sudamericana group stage. The match will be played on Friday, May 20th at Estadio 15 de Abril (Santa Fe).
Union are one of the mid-table teams of Argentina. "El Tate" really can't present anything to its fans, except for a very old, late 70s of the twentieth century, vice-championship. Yes, and I managed to make my debut on the international arena only in 2019, by the way, also within the framework of the Copa Sudamericana. Now, too, nothing really changes: 12th place in the Argentinean Example of last year, weak performances in the current Diego Maradona Cup, where there is actually no chance of getting into the playoffs. In the international arena, on the other hand, it turns out to lead the group in 8 points. But there is an important caveat: 3/4, 6 points, scored by victories over the outsider of the quartet, Oriente Petroliero.

Fluminense has been looking good in recent years, "Tricolors from Rio" were good in the period from 2007 to 2012, when they were able to win both the Copa Libertadores, and the Copa Sudamericana, and the national cup, and 2 (out of 4 in total) league titles. After that, there was a noticeable decline, and only in recent years has it been possible to show good results: 5th place in the year before last and 7th in the last Serie A draw. This was enough to start in the Copa Sudamericana draw. So far, the Brazilians are showing fairly average results there. Taken 7 points, which allows you to stay among the contenders for the exit from the group. There is still a game ahead of the outsider, Oriente Petroliero. But it might not matter if they lose now. Yes, and a draw may not be so useful strategically.
The game in April in Rio de Janeiro brought a goalless draw. Both Union (Santa Fe) and Fluminense want to keep fighting. The loser definitely remains without the playoffs, so we are waiting for a stubborn confrontation and "total over 2.0 goals"
Prediction for the match: Over 2.0 goals scored.
