Unión Santa Fe’s most prolific scorer has been Imanol Machuca. He has netted 2 goals over the last five matches. Jhonatan Candia Hernández and Juan Komar are the top scorers for Rosario Central in the last five matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal. It’s hard to imagine having success with those stats.
