Insights:
  • Independiente have scored in all their home matches so far.

Not much time to rest for the hosting team, as they featured in a Copa Sudamericana fixture only four days back. That game was an away game at General Caballero JLM, so at least Independiente are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!

Huracán form and stats

The visitors are W2-D2-L2 on the road this term. That's in the Superliga.

Huracán are travelling after their nice 2-1 home win in the match against Rosario Central (placed 14th). A heroic performance from Huracán in their game against Rosario Central last time out. Things got complicated when Fattori was sent off in the 63rd minute with the match level. Despite the red card the team were able to pull off a 2-1 victory! Midfielder Cristaldo was the best performer of that match, with a rating of 8.11. Cristaldo scored one goal, hit three key passes and dribled past the opponent 5 of 5 times.

Before that one, a nice away victory 2-0 at Aldosivi.
