Editorial Prediction
Unión Santa Fe enter the match as favorites, largely due to their defensive prowess showcased at the end of last season. The hosts managed to keep clean sheets in five of their last six games, demonstrating organized and disciplined play at the back. Platense, on the other hand, struggled significantly in the previous championship and often faced serious issues in attack. We predict that Platense will not score.
