Instituto vs Unión Santa Fe: match statistics
Instituto displays solid home form with a 50% win rate and a positive goal difference (+2) at their own stadium. The hosts control possession (52%) and have a decent scoring efficiency in home matches (averaging 1.5 goals). Unión Santa Fe, despite a better overall points-per-game average (2.0 PPG), has serious issues in away matches—a 67% loss rate and not a single draw on the road. Additionally, the visitors have yet to keep a clean sheet in any away match, which, given Instituto's decent attacking output, represents a significant weakness. Both teams' form over the last five matches is evenly matched; however, the home advantage coupled with Unión's clear away problems tips the scales in favor of Instituto. A closely contested match with a slight home edge is expected, hence the relatively high probability of a draw.
