Huracán manager Dabove looking for three points in Platense showdown

Huracán have less rest than Platense in this fixture, as the hosts were involved in a Superliga game only four days ago. This match was also played here at Estadio Tomás Adolfo Ducó. With two consecutive home games the intense schedule is somewhat softened. Still, Platense have had more rest.

Platense form and stats

Platense have only collected 12 points from their away games in the Superliga, after 3-3-6 (12 played). Three has not been a lucky number for Platense as they have been defeated three times in a row since the Defensa y Justicia match.

There might be some fixture complaints from Platense as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous game, 1-2 against River Plate. It's a bit weird; the match score 1-2 has repeated itself three games in a row! Attacker Benítez got a player rating of 7.03 in the game. "Man of the match" Benítez dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times.

Platense are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 6 wins, 2 draws and 7 defeats. From a total of 15 matches.

Low on goals? 9 of this team's latest 12 league rounds have contained two or less goals.

A quick return to home after this game, as Platense are hosting Lanús in the Superliga only four days away.
