Teams Preview

La Union FSA (Formosa)

La Unión is going into this rematch in good shape, their 8371 away victory against Instituto earlier in November and recent victories against Argentino de Junin and Ciclista Olímpico. Their recent five games have been 3-2, with a steady average of between mid-70s and high-80s, which is indicative that they are capable of assaulting both in-house and perimeter. Instituto was also optimistic in this game because that match win in Córdoba left Instituto with its long-term domination in the series.

In Estadio Cincuentenario, La Union is used to accelerate the pace at an early stage using their guards and use the distance between the wings to open up scoring opportunities. With the slower speed, they conduct organized sets that are aimed at taking advantage of their bigs in the post-rolls and the enhanced rebounding has provided them with more chances on their second shoots than before the seasons. They have also shown improved defensive discipline when at home which has seen them keep several opponents below their normal scoring marks.

Instituto continue to top the all-time series by a very comfortable margin, although the recent defeat and the upsurge in home consistency witnessed by La Unidao provide evidence that the margin might be getting smaller. Having the momentum and the home crowd on their side, they will seek to resume the fast start again and put Instituto on the defensive early in the game. 

Instituto (Cordoba)

Instituto goes to Formosa hoping to retaliate following an unequal run that involved the 8371 loss at home to La Unidad. They have had a 3-2 record in their last five games, alternating between good defeats (like their 85-70 defeat of Gimnasia de Comodoro) and those on which they conceded on the defensive to see their opponents in the high-70s or low-80s. Through the season, though, Instituto have been one of the best teams with an average of 80-82 points and less than 74 conceded.

Their crime remains one of the most adaptable in the league and is made up of tempo-setting guards and floor-stretching scorers. Instituto had open looks even in their previous loss to La Unión, but they could not shoot effectively and at the right time, which they will be keen to rectify during this encounter. Their standard offensive production implies that they are still able to confront the better defence of La Unida in case they appreciate possessions and are productive.

Instituto have traditionally dominated this competition, but La Unidad has upset this competition recently, which puts Instituto under pressure to regain their lead. Provided Instituto tightens their rotations, better protect the paint, and do not experience the lapses in the late-game like in November, they have the depth and experience to push back and demonstrate to the world that the loss that occurred is an anomaly.
