Season ticket holders at Estadio Arquitecto Ricardo Etcheverry haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Huracán languishing in the 23rd position so far. The guesting Independiente will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.
The visiting Independiente played their last game only four days ago, a Copa Sudamericana match. That game was also an away game, at Fortaleza. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.
Huracán form and stats
Huracán's struggle is real here at Estadio Arquitecto Ricardo Etcheverry with only 10 points collected from 10 Superliga games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 2-4-4. All in all it has been a very rough period for Huracán who hasn’t won a league-game in their last twelve attempts. Their previous win was against San Lorenzo, 134 days ago.
No payout for Huracán in their previous match, an away game at Talleres Cordoba that ended in defeat 2-4. The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a Copa Sudamericana home game that ended 1-1 versus Atlético Nacional.
As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today?
The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Huracán have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found eight games) they have won five times, drawn one and lost two.
