On March 21, 2025, at the "15 de Abril" stadium in Santa Fe, the 7th round match of the Argentine Championship will take place, featuring Unión Santa Fe and Racing. I suggest a bet on the total goals in this match.
Preview
This game was initially scheduled to happen earlier but was postponed due to Racing's participation in the Recopa final. Now the teams will face off on the pitch, not in their best form, but with different trends in recent matches.
Unión Santa Fe managed to escape a prolonged crisis, winning three times in their last four matches. Moreover, the club remains unbeaten at home for four games in a row. However, this is still not enough to compete for high positions – after nine rounds, they have only 8 points and are in 22nd place in the overall standings.
Racing is also experiencing tough times. The team hasn't won in the championship for five consecutive matches, earning only one point during this period. It was only in the last round that they broke a four-match losing streak by drawing 1-1 in an away derby against Independiente. Such poor results have dropped Racing to 19th place in the overall standings. Currently, they have only two points more than their future opponent – Unión.
Possible lineups
- Unión Santa Fe: Cardoso, Vargas, Ludueña, Pardo, Fascendini, Del Blanco, Ham, Profini, Fragapane, Estigarribia, Gamba
- Racing: Arias, Di Cesare, Colombo, Quiros, Martirena, Nardoni, Zuculini, Rojas, Vietto, Salas, Martinez
Match facts and H2H
- Unión has managed to keep a clean sheet at home only once since the start of the season.
- Unión has scored just 6 goals in the championship, 5 of which were at their home stadium.
- Racing consistently finds the net in away games – the team has scored in three consecutive away matches.
- In the last three head-to-head matches at Unión's field, the hosts have not won a single time. Two games ended in a draw, and one saw Racing victorious.
- In all these matches, the "both teams to score" bet was successful.
Prediction
Both teams approach the upcoming match in good spirits. Racing showed resilience by not losing away to a strong Independiente (1-1), while Unión confidently defeated Banfield at home (3-1). The history of head-to-head encounters between these teams indicates that they often delight fans with goals. There are plenty of reasons to believe that we are in for a high-scoring match this time as well. The "total over 2.0" bet with odds of 1.72 seems quite justified.
