Union host Instituto in a Liga Profesional fixture with contrasting motivations driving both sides into this meeting.
Instituto arrive as the form team. Diego Flores's side sit top of Clausura Group A and have won three of their last five league outings, with their most recent Liga Profesional result a 1-0 win over San Lorenzo on September 1.
Union are in a more difficult position. Leonardo Madelon's side sit eighth in Clausura Group A and have been inconsistent, picking up three wins from their last five league matches but also suffering back-to-back defeats in August.
The head-to-head record tilts in Union's favour at home. Their last meeting at this venue ended 1-2 to Instituto in March 2026, but Union's 4-0 win at Instituto in August 2025 showed what Madelon's side are capable of on their day.
For Instituto, a win would reinforce their standing at the summit. For Union, three points are needed to close the gap and ease the pressure building on their campaign.
