Deportivo Riestra vs Unión Santa Fe prediction, odds and how to watch

Deportivo Riestra produced one of the most tactically disciplined performances of the Argentine Liga Profesional season, stunning Boca Juniors 3-0 with three first-half goals despite being dominated in possession by a staggering margin of 82 to 18 percent.

Platense dominated possession and territory for long stretches at home, yet Unión Santa Fe twice led before a late equaliser made it 2-2 in a match defined by own goals, a penalty, VAR interventions, and a Platense side that cannot stop conceding at home.

Unión Santa Fe picked up a deserved away win in Mendoza, beating Independiente Rivadavia 2-1 to move to 31 points in the Argentine Liga Profesional. Rivadavia's home record continues to be a serious problem.

Belgrano secured a composed 2-0 victory over Unión Santa Fe in the Argentine Liga Profesional, delivering exactly the kind of low-scoring, defensively sound performance the underlying data had pointed toward.

Unión Santa Fe host a Lanús side that has scored just one goal across their last five matches, but whose defensive discipline may be enough to frustrate a home team struggling to convert possession into results. Our updated preview for the 6 August Liga Profesional fixture.

With Defensa y Justicia winless in four and Riestra collecting just one win in their last ten, Wednesday's Liga Profesional fixture has the look of a match both sides desperately need but neither is capable of winning comfortably. Updated 27 July 2026.

Platense have not won a single home game in their last five attempts and are conceding freely, while Unión Santa Fe arrive carrying both genuine attacking intent and a defence that simply cannot hold a lead. Something has to give on Sunday.

Deportivo Riestra welcome a Boca Juniors side whose away form has been genuinely exceptional, but the hosts' compact defending at home gives this Sunday fixture a fascinating tension that deserves closer examination.
