Huracán form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Huracán so far with only 5 points returning home. The records show 1-2-5 (win-draw-lose). Bitter travels for Huracán as they have lost five games in a row away from home. The last time they avoided an away-from-home loss was the Colón match.

Huracán delivered a 0-0 draw playing at home against Godoy Cruz (placed 10th) in their previous fixture. Defender Benitez was the best team player with a rating of 7.65. Benitez won 12 of 17 duels.

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Lanús wasn't a success with a 0-1 loss.

A quick return to home after this game, as Huracán are hosting Emelec in the Copa Sudamericana only four days away.

The visitors have scored 7 goals from 8 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. Huracán have conceded 11 goals in these away matches.
