Teams Preview
Racing (Chivilcoy) Preview
Racing head into this contest after suffering a 92-64 defeat to Penarol in their previous outing, where they struggled offensively with only 38% field goal shooting. Santiago Assum and Thomas Cooper led the scoring with 13 points each, but the team produced just 10 assists and committed 11 turnovers, showing limited ball movement.
Recent form has been inconsistent, with only three wins in the last ten games. Offensively they average 78.1 points per game and shoot 44.0% from the field, but their three-point efficiency at 30.5% limits scoring runs. Defensively they allow over 82 points per game, which keeps most opponents competitive.
Racing’s main strength is rebounding, averaging 35.7 per game, but their low assist numbers and weak perimeter shooting reduce offensive efficiency. At home they may control pace, but their recent results show difficulty finishing games against stronger offenses.
Union (Santa Fe) Preview
Union also lost their last game 93-88 against Platense despite shooting 51% from the field. Yeferson Guerra scored 23 points and Chijioke Akwuba added 20, showing strong inside scoring, but the team allowed 93 points due to defensive breakdowns and poor transition coverage.
Union average 81.7 points per game and have slightly better offensive efficiency than Racing, including 31.4% from three-point range and 73.3% from free throws. They also record more assists per game at 15.5, indicating better ball circulation. However, their defense allows 84.4 points per game, one of the weaker marks in this standings range.
Union are currently on a losing streak and have dropped several recent games, but their offensive production remains stable. If they maintain shooting efficiency, they can keep the score close even away from home.
