CA Platense are now managed by Juninho and signed experienced Uruguayan striker Nicolas Lopez on a free transfer during the pre-season.
Union Santa Fe are under the charge of Madelon and did not bring in any new players before the season. Midfielder Mateo Di Franco moved to a French club, while Rafael Profini joined a team in Ukraine.
CA Platense
Suspended: None
Doubtful: Ferrara (knee), Elmafil (back), Ingent (shoulder), Kone (Achilles), Augusto Rodi (back)
Injured/unavailable: Tomas Nasif (knee)
Union Santa Fe
Suspended: None
Doubtful: None
Injured/unavailable: None
Main pick: Draw
Although CA Platense have several defensive players dealing with injuries, Juninho's side have still managed to maintain their usual consistency. Everyone at the club will be hoping to gel quickly and get their results back on track.
Union Santa Fe coach Madelon needs to rebuild the squad after losing two young and promising players, and with no new arrivals that is likely to weaken their depth.
CA Platense still need time to adapt to their new coach's tactical demands, while Union Santa Fe have also lost several key options in midfield. With both teams in transition and neither wanting to lose, this match could be cautious and a share of the points looks likely.
