The wait will be over soon. The Argentine Liga Profesional 2021 will begin today, July 16, with an exciting match between Unión and Boca Juniors at the 15 de Abril Stadium in Santa Fe. As usual, the Xeneizes are one of the title favorites and want to start their Argentine league campaign with an away victory. Here, you will find everything there is to know about this exciting soccer match, such as the preview, information, storylines, predictions, odds, and even how to watch it or live stream online free in the US.

The hosts have a tough challenge upfront to begin their campaign. After finishing sixth in the last Copa de la Liga Profesional, Juan Manuel Azconzábal's boys want to build from there and get off to a strong start at home.

The Xeneizes, on the other hand, arrive at this clash with their minds focused on next week's second leg of the Copa Libertadores last-16 against Atlético Mineiro. Miguel Angel Russo's side, however, will be expected to begin the Argentine league strongly.

Union vs Boca Juniors: Storylines and Head-to-Head

Unión de Santa Fe will try to get off to a good start to their 2021 Liga Profesional journey against the B-team of Boca Juniors. The Tatengue have already beaten Russo's men in the previous league cup at home.

Therefore, the Xeneize know that their trip to Santa Fe could be harder than expected and they must be at their best to avoid dropping points. Still, their priority seems to be on their Libertadores tie with Atlético Mineiro after being held in the first leg at La Bombonera.

This will be the 62nd meeting between these two sides in the Argentine top-flight. Boca Juniors have the edge with 34 victories, while Unión have won 13 times, and they've shared the points on 14 occasions.
