Head-to-head statistics Union Santa Fe - Est. La Plata
Unión Santa Fe: winless streak
Unión Santa Fe’s most recent outing in the Primera División saw them play out a 1-1 draw away at Deportivo Riestra (20 October 2026). Unión dominated possession with 65% and registered more shots on target-5 to 3-but trailed in expected goals: 0.62 compared to Riestra’s 1.37.
Unión Santa Fe are going through a rough patch, currently sitting 11th in their group with 14 points. They have failed to win any of their last five matches, picking up just one draw and suffering four consecutive defeats. However, it’s not just a lack of attacking threat that’s holding them back: over their previous ten outings, Unión have averaged a respectable 1.4 goals per game. The real concern lies at the back, where they have conceded an average of 1.7 goals over the same span. These defensive issues are particularly evident at home, where Unión not only find the net themselves but also consistently allow their opponents to score.
