Match preview: 6 points divide the squads so far this season, Godoy Cruz on top. Will Huracán shorten the gap?
- Huracán have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
- Godoy Cruz have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.
Godoy Cruz have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1000 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Huracán form and stats
Huracán have played 7 Superliga games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 3-2-2 (wins-draws-losses).
In their previous game, the manager Dabove led his Huracán to a defeat away at Lanus. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Estadio Tomás Adolfo Ducó. Midfield player Fattori got a match rating of 7.42 in that game, the max score being 10. Fattori dribled past the opponent 1 of 2 times and had 76 successful passes (of 81 total).
A 1-1 scoreline against Danubio before that one, played at their own home stadium in the Copa Sudamericana. This is expected to be a close game, with Huracán perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Huracán as a small favourite), we find 7 games. Huracán has won 4 of these, drawn 3 and lost 0.
The Huracán fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 8 in 7 matches. Huracán's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 9 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
