Huracán form and stats

The visitors are W1-D2-L2 on the road this term. That's in the Superliga. It's looking increasingly bleak for Huracán who now has to deal with a four game losing streak. San Lorenzo was the last time a defeat was avoided.

Huracán might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. River Plate proved too strong as Huracán slumped to a 0-3 defeat in front of their own fans at Estadio Tomás Adolfo Ducó. Midfield player Fattori was the top player of the team with a match rating of 7.02/10. Fattori had 45 successful passes (of 50 total).

Before that match, the win at home against Guarani in the Copa Sudamericana (4-1).

A quick return to home after this game, as Huracán are hosting Argentinos Juniors in the Superliga only three days away.

Huracán have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 5 league away games 7 goals have been scored. 7 goals have been conceded by Huracán in these games.
