--------------------------------
The Argentine Primera División 2025 Clausura Matchday 1 clash between Club Atlético Unión and Estudiantes de La Plata is scheduled for July 14, 2025, at 21:15 local time (20:15 UTC) at Estadio 15 de Abril, Santa Fe. This Group A opener pits Unión, a mid-table side aiming to rebound from a poor Apertura, against Estudiantes, a historically strong team looking to build on their recent victory over Unión in the Apertura.
Club Atlético Unión Review
Unión, coached by Cristian "Kily" González, finished 18th in the 2025 Apertura with 15 points (W4-D3-L8), averaging 0.9 points per game. Their 4-2-3-1 formation features Lionel Verde (1 goal vs Estudiantes, January 25, 2025), Franco Fragapane, and new signing Juan Pablo Pumpido. Unión’s home form is decent (3W-2D-3L, 1.2 goals scored, 1.0 conceded per game), but their recent form is poor, with only one win in eight (1-0 vs Gimnasia, March 2, 2025). A 1-0 Copa Argentina win over Rosario Central on July 2, 2025, offers hope. No major injuries reported, but suspensions for Joaquín Mosqueira and Enzo Roldán may impact midfield depth. Probable XI: Tagliamonte; Vargas, Pardo, Fascendini, Del Blanco; Palacios, M. Pitton, Martínez, Fragapane; Gamba, Tarragona. Recent form: WLLLD.
Estudiantes de La Plata Review
Estudiantes, under Eduardo Domínguez, finished 8th in Apertura Group A with 25 points (W7-D4-L4), averaging 1.67 points per game. Their 4-3-3 formation relies on Tiago Palacios (3 goals), Santiago Ascacíbar (1 goal), and new signings Fernando Muslera (goalkeeper) and Facundo Farías. Estudiantes’ away form is solid (4W-2D-2L, 1.4 goals scored, 0.9 conceded), with a 3-1 win over Unión on January 25, 2025 (Palacios 8’, Tobio Burgos 11’, Ascacíbar 21’; Verde 68’). Recent losses include a 2-0 defeat to Sarmiento (May 3, 2025). No injuries reported, with a probable XI: Muslera; Meza, Núñez, Rodríguez, Arzamendia; Piovi, Ascacíbar; Palacios, Medina, Farías; Carrillo. Recent form: LWWLD.
Head to Head
Unión and Estudiantes have met 65 times since 1931, with Estudiantes leading 29W-19W-17D (84 goals to Unión’s 66). Recent H2H results:
January 25, 2025 (Apertura, La Plata): Estudiantes 3-1 Unión (Palacios, Tobio Burgos, Ascacíbar; Verde)
July 21, 2024 (Primera División, La Plata): Estudiantes 0-0 Unión.August 9, 2023 (Primera División): Unión 2-0 Estudiantes. Average goals per match: 2.31, with 46% both teams to score (BTTS) and 38% over 2.5 goals. Unión are unbeaten in their last two H2H matches at home (1W-1D).
Prediction: Club Atlético Unión 0-1 Estudiantes de La Plata
Unión’s home advantage and recent Copa Argentina form (1-0 vs Rosario Central) face Estudiantes’ superior squad depth and H2H dominance (3-1 in January). Unión’s attack (Verde, Fragapane) may exploit Estudiantes’ occasional away lapses, but Ascacíbar and Palacios’ form, plus Muslera’s goalkeeping, give Estudiantes the edge. Unión’s midfield absences (Mosqueira, Roldán) limit their control against Estudiantes’ dynamic 4-3-3.
