- Huracán have the fewest scored goals in the second half (5) in Superliga
It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Copa Sudamericana. That game, against Guarani, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Huracán.
Independiente form and stats
Independiente have played 10 Superliga games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 3-4-3 (wins-draws-losses).
The supporters are hoping that Independiente will strike back in this fixture, putting things right after the 0-3 away loss in the game against Union Santa Fe (placed 21st). Cauteruccio, a striker, was the declared top player for the team in that game, earning a rating of 7.14 (out of 10). Cauteruccio hit two key passes, dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times and had 18 successful passes (of 21 total).
Ahead of that match, Independiente won a home game hosting Sarmiento (2-0).This is expected to be a close game, with Independiente perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Independiente as a small favourite), we find 8 games. Independiente has won 4 of these, drawn 3 and lost 1.
Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the Copa Argentina game versus Central Cordoba SdE in only two days. This game is also played here at Estadio Libertadores de América.
The Independiente fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 14 in 10 matches. Independiente have conceded 13 in these home matches.
Huracán form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Huracán so far with only 6 points returning home. The records show 1-3-7 (win-draw-lose). The loyal fans travelling with their beloved Huracán have enjoyed the stadium food more than the matches as the visitors have gone ten consecutive matches without winning on the road.
Two away matches in a row for Huracán, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 0-2 versus Guarani in the Copa Sudamericana.
Preceding that match was the 1-1 draw at home vs Newell's Old Boys.As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found 16 similar matches played by Huracán in our archives, and the results are: 3 wins for Huracán, 6 draws and 7 defeats.
Low-scoring game? 10 of this club's latest 11 league rounds have seen two or less goals.
Huracán have another fixture away in just two sleeps, a Copa Argentina fixture vs Instituto. A difficult schedule for them!
The visitors have scored 7 goals from 11 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 0 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. As opposed to that, Huracán have seen the ball go into their own net 14 times on the road.
