Unión, which comes from losing 2-1 away to Racing Club, will have the return of defenders Diego Polenta and Claudio Corvalán, but will not have suspended offensive midfielder Juan Ignacio Nardoni.
The Uruguayan defender Polenta will enter for Facundo Agüero while Corvalán will do it for the left side marker Lucas Esquivel, while Ezequiel Cañete will return to the starting lineup for Nardoni.
Another variant that will be carried out by the Union coach, the Uruguayan Gustavo Munúa, will be the entry of the Paraguayan striker Junior Marabel by “Charrúa” Jonathan Álvez, who, in addition to being injured, will not continue with the club next year.
The “Tatengue” is in 21st place with 26 points, in a campaign in which it added just five units of the last 12 and is fighting to qualify for the Copa Sudamericana.
For his part, “Ñuls” comes from losing in Avellaneda with Independiente (1-0) and before he had also lost in Rosario against Sarmiento, which motivated coach Adrián Coria to make four changes.
In this context, the right back Tomás Jacob will replace the Colombian defender Willer Ditta -injured in an adductor-; Uruguayan side Armando Méndez to striker Juan Garro; midfielder Pablo Pérez to Julián Fernández and striker Ramiro Sordo to Brian Aguirre, with a knee injury that sidelined him for the remainder of the tournament.
The interim technical director, Adrián Coria, put together a team in which he surprised with Méndez as the right midfielder and placed Pablo Pérez as double 5 with Juan Sforza, Ramiro Sordo as left midfielder and Cristian Ferreira as midfielder, together with Juan Manuel García as sole striker.
Newells, who has 29 units and is in 20th place, also has a chance of qualifying for the next edition of the Copa Sudamericana.
